According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 8th, there will also be rain in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungnam region, and southern Chungbuk from early morning to morning.

In Jeonbuk, rain will continue until the afternoon, while in other southern regions, it will last until nighttime. On the coastal areas of Jeonnam and Gyeongnam, rain is expected to continue until the morning of the 10th. In Jeju, rain will persist until the night of the 10th.

The expected rainfall amounts for the 8th and 9th are as follows: 30 to 80 mm in Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeju (with some coastal areas of Jeonnam receiving more than 120 mm), 10 to 60 mm in southern Jeonbuk, 5 to 40 mm in northern Jeonbuk, and 5 to 20 mm in central and northern Gyeongbuk.

In particular, until the 10th, Jeonnam, Gyeongnam, and Jeju may experience strong rain of around 30 mm per hour accompanied by gusty winds. Extra caution is advised to prevent safety accidents.

The morning low temperatures are forecast to range from 18 to 24 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs are expected to be between 25 and 31 degrees Celsius.

Fine dust concentrations are expected to remain at 'good' to 'normal' levels nationwide, thanks to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the effects of rainfall.

Waves in the coastal waters of the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea are expected to range from 0.5 to 1.5 meters. In the offshore areas (up to about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are forecast to be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea and South Sea.
