Current Korea Meteorological Administration guidance points to a daytime maximum of 28–30 °C for Busan on May 18 under a strengthening high-pressure ridge and southerly flow that supports modest warming through clear skies and subsidence. Short-range ensemble models show tight clustering around this range, with 29 °C and 30 °C outcomes nearly tied in trader sentiment because small differences in peak insolation timing or afternoon wind shifts can tip the exact daily high by one degree. This setup exceeds typical mid-May climatology near 21–23 °C at the Gimhae station, reflecting the ridge’s influence on regional heat advection. Traders are watching the next KMA update and global model runs for any adjustments before resolution criteria based on the official station maximum.
