Humidity levels are high. As a result, the perceived temperature in most areas will be above 33 degrees Celsius. The highest perceived temperature in Yangsan-si, Gyeongnam, is expected to be 36 degrees, while in Gwangju and Gyeongbuk’s Gyeongju-si, Uiseong-gun, Gyeongsan-si, Chilgok-gun, and Gyeongnam’s Gimhae-si, Hamyang-gun, Uiryeong-gun, Haman-gun, Changnyeong-gun, the highest perceived temperature will be 35 degrees.

Heatwave warnings have also been issued. As of 5 p.m. on that day, out of 180 weather advisory areas nationwide, 170 have heatwave warnings. Fourteen areas including Hongcheon plain in Gangwon, Asan-si, Buyeo-gun, Dangjin-si in Chungnam, Sejong, Jeongeup-si in Jeonbuk, Damyang-gun and Haenam-gun in Jeonnam, Gwangju, Andong-si, Gyeongsan-si, Gyeongju-si in Gyeongbuk, and Changwon-si and Gimhae-si in Gyeongnam are under heatwave alerts. A heatwave alert is issued when the daily maximum perceived temperature is expected to be 35 degrees or higher for two or more consecutive days. The criterion for a heatwave advisory is 33 degrees or higher. Tropical nights are expected mainly in the Seoul metropolitan area, the western coast of Chungnam, Honam, Gyeongbuk, the southern coast of Gyeongnam, and the eastern coast of Gangwon.

With rising daytime temperatures causing atmospheric instability, scattered showers will occur in various places. The amount of rainfall from these showers is expected to be between 5 and 80 mm. When showers occur, sudden gusts of wind reaching around 70 km/h are expected in the surrounding areas. Although temperatures will temporarily drop during the showers, they are expected to rise again once the showers cease.

Along the Jeju coast and the southern coast, swells will bring waves high enough to overflow rocky shores and breakwaters. Strong winds blowing at 30 to 60 km/h and waves 1.5 to 4.0 meters high will persist until the 28th in the outer seas east of the southern coast and south of Jeju, and until the 29th in the outer seas south of Jeju and the southern outer seas of the West Sea.
