According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the morning low temperature is forecasted to be between 23 and 29 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 32 and 37 degrees Celsius. The area around Haseo-myeon, Buan-gun, Jeonbuk, where the 2023 Saemangeum Jamboree is taking place and heat-related illnesses are occurring frequently, will have a morning low of 26 degrees and a daytime high of 35 degrees, remaining hot.


During the ongoing heatwave, the risk of heat-related illnesses is very high, so it is important to consume enough fluids and salt and to avoid outdoor activities as much as possible.


There will be occasional clouds nationwide, with showers expected in Jeju Island from morning to afternoon.


Jeju Island is forecasted to receive 5 to 40 mm of showers from morning to afternoon. In the southern mountainous areas of Gangwon, inland southern Chungcheong, and inland Gyeongnam, 5 to 40 mm of showers are expected from afternoon to evening, while in the Jeolla and Gyeongbuk regions, 5 to 60 mm of showers may occur. Some areas experiencing showers may also have gusty winds with rainfall rates of about 10 to 20 mm per hour.


Fine dust levels will be 'Good' to 'Moderate' nationwide due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.



Fog may form mainly over the West Sea and South Sea, so caution is advised for maritime safety accidents. For the time being, swells will flow into the coasts of Jeju Island, the South Sea coast, and the West Sea coast of Jeolla, causing high waves that may overflow onto rocky shores, breakwaters, and coastal roads.
