In the central and northern Yeongdong region of Gangwon, 5 to 40 mm of rain is forecast until October 1. Hail may fall in eastern Gyeonggi and Yeongseo of Gangwon, so caution is advised for facility management and prevention of crop damage.

Dense fog with visibility less than 200 meters is expected until morning in inland areas of Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, and Honam, so special attention should be paid to traffic safety on the return journey.

Due to dense fog at inland airports, flight disruptions may occur, so passengers should check flight information in advance.

Fine dust levels will be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion. The Korea Meteorological Administration explained, "On Chuseok day, the full moon will be visible through the clouds nationwide, but in the central region, it will gradually become cloudy around midnight, making it difficult to see the full moon."

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1 meter in the West Sea and South Sea. Offshore wave heights are forecast at 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea and South Sea.
