This rain may contain yellow dust originating from the Gobi Desert and the Inner Mongolian Plateau around the 21st and 22nd. In some areas, graupel with a diameter of less than 5 mm will fall.


Expected precipitation amounts are 10 to 40 mm in the West Sea Five Islands and Chungcheong region, 5 to 40 mm in inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, 5 to 30 mm in Jeonbuk, Daegu, and Gyeongbuk, and 5 to 10 mm in the eastern coast of Gangwon, Gwangju, Jeonnam, Ulsan, inland Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island.


In Seoul, Incheon, southern Gyeonggi, Sejong, northern Chungnam, and central-northern Chungnam, some places are expected to receive more than 60 mm of rain.


The morning low temperature on the 24th is forecast to be between 20 and 23 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 24 and 31 degrees Celsius.


Fine dust concentration is expected to be at a 'moderate' level across all regions. However, in the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungnam, it is expected to temporarily reach a 'bad' level in the afternoon, and in Jeonnam and Jeju at night.


In the Yeongdong region of Gangwon, instantaneous wind speeds will be strong at around 55 km/h (15 m/s), and gusts or thunder and lightning may occur over the West Sea, so caution is needed to prevent safety accidents.



Sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea and South Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters. In the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the East Sea, 1.0 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea.
