On Thursday the 8th, most regions nationwide will experience very hot weather with a maximum apparent temperature around 35 degrees Celsius. However, due to the influence of a low-pressure trough, rain is expected in the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Province, and the Chungcheong region.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, showers are expected in the southern regions and Jeju Island from morning to evening on the 8th. Expected rainfall amounts are 5-40 mm in Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeonbuk; 5-60 mm in Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam, Daegu, and Gyeongbuk; and 5-40 mm in Jeju Island.

Rain is also forecasted in the central regions from early morning to afternoon.
