The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "There will be very heavy rain accompanied by strong winds, thunder, and lightning mainly in Chungcheong and Jeolla provinces, so special caution is needed to prevent rain-related damage."

The morning low temperature is forecast to be 22-25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature 27-34 degrees Celsius.

Fine dust levels will be 'normal' to 'good' across all regions due to good atmospheric dispersion and rainfall.

Wave heights in the open sea are expected to be 0.5-1.5m in the East Sea, 0.5-1.0m in the West Sea, and 0.5-1.5m in the South Sea.
