The expected rainfall over two days from the 9th is 20 to 80 mm in the central region, Jeolla, northern and western inland areas of Gyeongbuk, southern coastal areas of Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island; 5 to 60 mm in the eastern coast of Gangwon, other parts of Gyeongsang, the five western islands, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo. Some areas in southern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeolla, and northwestern inland Gyeongbuk may receive over 100 mm.

Due to unstable atmospheric conditions, heavy rain will pour in narrow areas, with significant differences in rainfall intensity and amount depending on the region. In the central region, Jeolla area, and northwestern inland Gyeongbuk, strong rain of 30 to 60 mm per hour accompanied by gusts and thunder/lightning is expected in some places. The Korea Meteorological Administration has urged special caution in managing crops and facilities as hail may fall in some areas.

The morning low temperature is forecast to be between 21 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 26 and 33 degrees Celsius. The highest perceived temperature will exceed 33 degrees Celsius mainly inland. Dense fog is expected in the morning along the west and south coasts and mountainous areas of Gangwon.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the offshore waters of the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea respectively. Wave heights in the inner offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 0.5 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West and South Seas.
