According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 26th, the central region will experience rain until the afternoon, and occasional raindrops will fall in the Gyeongbuk region. Expected precipitation amounts are 50?150mm (over 200mm in some areas) in Jeju Island, 30?100mm (over 120mm in some areas) in the Seoul metropolitan area, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Chungcheong region, southern regions, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo, and 10?50mm on the Gangwon East Coast and the West Sea Five Islands.


Until the morning, there will be very heavy rain with gusts and thunder/lightning, with hourly rainfall of 30?50mm (40?60mm in Jeju Island) in some areas. In the Yeongdong area of Gangwon, strong winds with instantaneous wind speeds exceeding 15m/s (over 20m/s in mountainous areas) are expected, so caution is required.


The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 25 and 32 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels will be 'Good' nationwide due to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the influence of rain.



In the southern sea and around Jeju Island, there will be areas with thunder and lightning accompanied by gusts, and fog will persist over most seas for the time being. Sea waves will be 1.0?2.5m in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5?2.5m in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5?2.0m in the South Sea coastal waters. In the offshore waters (about 200km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 1.5?3.5m in the East Sea and 1.0?3.5m in the West and South Seas.
