It has been raining almost every day in Seoul recently, and the weather has become extremely muggy. This continuous hot and humid weather makes people feel extremely uncomfortable. On the streets and in the alleys, one can often see pedestrians hurrying along with umbrellas, trying to avoid staying outside for a long time. Due to frequent rainfall, the humidity in the air remains high. Even when the sun occasionally clears up, the intense sunlight shines on the moist ground, turning the city into a huge steamer.
