Mountainous areas of Jeju Island will receive over 600 mm, and Jeju Island, the southern coast, the eastern coast of Gyeongsang Province, and areas near Jirisan will see over 400 mm.

The KMA stated, "Due to the northward movement of the typhoon on the 5th, rain will continue until the 6th, resulting in a prolonged period of precipitation," adding, "A large amount of moisture will be brought in by strong southerly winds, so very strong and heavy rain is expected. Special caution is required to prevent rain-related damage."

The minimum temperature on the morning of the 4th will be between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature during the day will be between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, similar to or slightly higher than today.
