On August 4, the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced the cancellation of two baseball games scheduled for Tuesday evening due to extreme heat. The NC Dinos vs Doosan Bears match in Seoul and the KT Wiz vs Kia Tigers game in Gwangju were called off. The Korea Meteorological Administration issued a severe heat wave warning for both cities, activating when the highest perceived temperature reached 38 C or the daily maximum temperature surpassed 39 C. The KBO can cancel games by 1 p.m. on such days.
Tuesday's early announcement came at 12:45 p.m. The heatwave also led to three KBO games being canceled over the weekend in the southeastern region - two in Changwon and one in Busan. Of the remaining games for Tuesday, one is set to be played in Busan and another in Daegu, where a record high of 40.9 C was recorded on Sunday. The third game will take place in Incheon, situated west of Seoul.
