The central region will be mostly clear, but the southern regions and Jeju Island will be mostly cloudy. Due to the northward movement of the stationary front along the southern coast of Jeju Island, rain is expected in Jeju until the afternoon and along the Jeonnam coast until night. Occasional rain is also forecast from dawn to daytime in southern Jeonbuk, inland Jeonnam, and the western southern coast of Gyeongnam.

Expected rainfall amounts are 30~80mm along the Jeonnam coast and Jeju Island (with more than 100mm in some areas of the Jeonnam coast and Jeju mountainous regions), 10~50mm in inland Jeonnam and the western southern coast of Gyeongnam, and 5~30mm in southern Jeonbuk.

Sea waves will be 0.5~1.0m in the near seas of the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea. Wave heights in the offshore seas (about 200km from the coastline) are expected to be 0.5~1.5m in the East Sea and West Sea, and 0.5~2.0m in the South Sea.
