Significant regional variations are expected, and in some areas, sleet and hail may fall, so special attention should be paid to the management of crops and facilities.

Currently, heatwave warnings are in effect for some inland areas of Gyeonggi and Gangwon, Chungcheong region, and southern regions. With rain falling over the next two days starting today, daytime temperatures will temporarily decrease in some places.

However, after the rain stops, temperatures will rise again, with the highest perceived temperature exceeding 33 degrees Celsius in many areas. The forecasted daytime high temperature is between 26 and 32 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the influence of precipitation. Sea waves in the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea coastal waters will range from 0.5 to 1.5 meters.
