Where rain clouds develop strongly, there may be thunder and lightning accompanied by gusty winds, so attention should be paid to facility management and safety accidents.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "With the ground weakened due to recent heavy rain, and more heavy rain expected in most areas nationwide until the day after tomorrow, please be cautious to prevent damage such as flooding in lowlands and farmland, landslides, and retaining wall collapses. In particular, very heavy rain in a short time may cause sudden rises in valley or river water levels, so campers in mountainous and valley areas should be especially careful about safety accidents."
