Good morning. Today is Jungbok, the middle of the hottest part of summer in Korea, while Japan is bracing for the 12th typhoon of the season.<br /><br /> Typhoon Jongdari could make landfall in Honshu on Saturday night and the weakening storm is likely to bring little or no rainfall to Korea.<br /><br /> For today, some of the eastern regions might see a few sporadic showers, and possibly some thunder and lightning. <br /><br /> This afternoon, Seoul will see a high of 35 degrees Celsius. For a heads up, the longest blood moon eclipse of the century takes place tonight. In South Korea, the total eclipse will last from 3:24 until 4:30 on Saturday morning. <br /><br /> You won't need to dress warm to check out the phenomenon, it will still be very warm and sweltering temperatures will persist for the time being.<br /><br /> On Jungbok, many Koreans eat Samgye-tang, or ginseng chicken soup, to beat the heat, but health experts actually suggest it's better to eat smaller cold meals such as salad... as a big meal expends energy and generates heat during digestion And always remember to drink plenty of water. <br /><br />That's Korea for you and here's the international weather for viewers around the world.<br />
