South Gyeongsang's Southern Coast Averages 28.7°C, 6.5 Degrees Above Last Year, as the High-Temperature Warning Is Extended to the Whole Coast
Part of the August 29, 2026 daily edition
경남 남해안의 바닷물이 뜨거워져 양식장 피해가 이어지고 있습니다. 25일 오전 기준 남해안의 평균 수온은 28.7도로, 작년 같은 기간보다 6.5도 높습니다. 통영(30.1도)과 남해(30.2도) 같은 일부 내만은 30도를 넘었습니다. 국립수산과학원은 24일 고수온 경보를 경남 전 해역으로 확대했습니다. 올해 누적 폐사량은 3개 시군 44개 어가에서 어류 110만 6000마리로 늘었고, 통영에서는 멍게가 붙은 봉줄 95줄도 폐사했습니다. 차가운 물 덩어리인 냉수대가 사라지면서 수온이 갑자기 오르는 바람에, 물고기가 받는 스트레스와 피해가 커지고 있습니다.
Translation
The sea along the southern coast of 경남 has grown hot, and damage to fish farms is continuing. As of the morning of the 25th, the average water temperature on the southern coast was 28.7°C, 6.5 degrees higher than in the same period last year. Some inner bays, such as 통영 (30.1°C) and 남해 (30.2°C), have passed 30 degrees. On the 24th, the National Institute of Fisheries Science extended its high-water-temperature warning to the whole of the 경남 coast. The number of farmed fish that have died this year has risen to 1,106,000 across 44 farms in three cities and counties, and in 통영, 95 lines of farmed sea squirts also died. As the cold water mass called 냉수대 has disappeared, the water temperature has shot up suddenly, and the stress on the fish and the damage are growing.

Grammar points
N보다 (더) Amore A than N
보다 attaches to the thing being compared against, and the adjective that follows says in what way the subject differs: 작년 같은 기간보다 6.5도 높다 is 6.5 degrees higher than the same period last year. Korean puts the amount of the difference (6.5도) between 보다 and the adjective, which is the reverse of English word order. 더 (more) can be added before the adjective for emphasis but is often left out when a number already gives the size of the gap.
Example: 25일 오전 기준 남해안의 평균 수온은 28.7도로, 작년 같은 기간보다 6.5도 높습니다.
As of the morning of the 25th, the average water temperature on the southern coast was 28.7°C, 6.5 degrees higher than in the same period last year.
-는 바람에because of (an unexpected cause with a bad result)
-는 바람에 attaches to a verb stem and gives the cause of something that went wrong. Unlike the neutral -아/어서, it carries the feeling that the cause was sudden or unwelcome and the result is a problem. 수온이 갑자기 오르는 바람에 is because the water temperature rose suddenly, and what follows is the damage. It is always -는, never -(으)ㄴ, even when the cause is in the past, and the result clause is usually in the past or present, not a command.
Example: 냉수대가 사라지면서 수온이 갑자기 오르는 바람에, 물고기가 받는 스트레스와 피해가 커지고 있습니다.
As the cold water mass disappeared, the water temperature shot up suddenly, and the stress on the fish and the damage are growing.
