On the 6th, rain will fall in the Seoul metropolitan area until daytime, and in the southern regions until nighttime. Most maritime areas are under a high seas warning, so caution is advised for coastal safety accidents.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on this day, rain is expected until daytime in Seoul, Incheon, western Gyeonggi, and western Chungnam, and until afternoon in eastern Gyeonggi. Rain will continue in the southern regions until nighttime.

The central regions, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongsang areas will receive 10 to 40 mm of rain, Jeonnam (excluding the southern coast) 5 to 20 mm, and the southern coast of Jeonnam and Jeju Island less than 5 mm.

In areas where rain falls, visibility may be low and roads slippery, so traffic safety should be observed.

A Korea Meteorological Administration official stated, "Very high waves of 2 to 4 meters will occur, and swells will flow into the East Coast," adding, "There will be places where high waves will overflow the breakwaters, so caution is needed for coastal safety accidents."
