The expected rainfall over two days from the 11th is 30 to 100 mm (with some areas exceeding 150 mm) in the metropolitan area, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongsang regions.

During the same period, the rainfall will be 20 to 80 mm in the five islands of the West Sea, and 5 to 60 mm along the Gangwon East Coast, Jeju Island, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo.

Especially until the morning of the 12th, very heavy rain of 30 to 80 mm per hour is expected in the central regions excluding the Gangwon East Coast, Jeolla region, northern inland Gyeongbuk, and coastal areas of Gyeongnam, so special attention should be paid to facility management and safety accidents.

Many places in the southern regions will see daytime temperatures rise above 31 degrees Celsius. It will be particularly hot and humid.

The morning low temperature is forecast to be between 22 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 27 and 32 degrees Celsius.

For the time being, some areas may experience tropical nights overnight. A tropical night is a phenomenon where the minimum temperature remains above 25℃ from 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. the following day.

Fine dust concentration is expected to be at a 'Good' level across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the influence of precipitation.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the coastal waters of the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea. The wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea.

Between the 11th and 13th, strong winds of 30 to 50 km/h and waves of 1.5 to 3.0 meters are expected in the southern offshore waters of the West Sea and the offshore waters around Jeju Island.
