SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea broke a century-old weather record with the 26th so-called tropical night in a row — when the temperature stays above 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit), according to official data released Friday.

'The cold air is not coming down from the north and as we are affected by the warmer side of the southwest, the temperature is continuously recording around 25 degrees Celsius or above,' Youn Ki-han, director at Seoul's Meteorology Forecast Division, told Agence France-Presse.
