The expected rainfall over two days from the 27th is 5 to 20 mm for Ulleungdo and Dokdo, less than 5 mm for Gangwon Yeongseo, and around 1 mm for the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong region, Jeolla region, and Jeju Island.


The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperatures between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' nationwide. Incheon, southern Gyeonggi, and Chungnam are expected to have 'Bad' levels at night.


Visibility will be reduced in areas with rain, and many roads will be slippery. In the mountainous areas of Gangwon, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters may occur due to low clouds. Even in areas where the rain stops or weakens, fog with visibility less than 1 km may form.



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