On the 2nd, the heatwave with a perceived temperature of over 35 degrees Celsius continues, so attention must be paid to health management, including heat-related illnesses.

The morning low temperature is forecasted to be between 22 and 27 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 32 and 36 degrees Celsius.

There will also be places where showers occur. In areas with showers, strong rain of about 30mm per hour accompanied by gusts, thunder, and lightning may fall under unstable atmospheric conditions.

Expected precipitation amounts are 5 to 40mm in the inland southern Gyeonggi, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, and Jeju-do, and 5 to 60mm in the inland and mountainous southern Gangwon, Chungbuk, Gwangju, Jeolla, Daegu, and inland Gyeongsang regions.

Fine dust levels are expected to be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' across all regions.

Along the Jeju-do coast, the southern coast, and the Jeolla west coast, swells will be incoming, causing high waves to overflow over rocky shores, breakwaters, and coastal roads, so caution is required to prevent safety accidents.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety activated Level 1 of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters (CDSCH) at 6 p.m. on the 1st in preparation for the heatwave situation.

The heatwave crisis alert level was also raised to the highest 'Severe' stage.
