The lowest temperatures on the morning of the 3rd are expected to be between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius, and the highest daytime temperatures between 32 and 36 degrees Celsius. With heatwave warnings in effect nationwide, the KMA emphasized that the apparent temperature will rise to around 35 degrees Celsius in most areas for the time being, making it very hot with many places experiencing tropical nights. They urged people to take care of their health to prevent heat-related illnesses.

From early morning to morning on the 3rd, fog reducing visibility to less than 1 km is expected mainly along the southern coast and some southern inland areas. Additionally, sea fog is expected over all seas for the time being, so special caution is advised to prevent maritime safety accidents.
