The central region will be mostly cloudy, while the southern region and Jeju Island will see partly cloudy skies at times.

Showers are expected from early morning to afternoon in the Seoul metropolitan area, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, northern Chungnam, and central and northern Chungbuk. In other parts of Chungcheong, Jeolla, the western inland of Gyeongsang, and Jeju Island, showers are expected in the afternoon.

In some parts of eastern inland Jeonnam and western inland Gyeongnam, showers may continue into the evening.

Expected rainfall is 5 to 60 mm in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, the five West Sea islands, and inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon (with more than 80 mm possible in northern Seoul and Gyeonggi), 5 to 30 mm in Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, Chungbuk, Gwangju, Jeonnam, inland Jeonbuk, western inland Gyeongbuk, and western inland Gyeongnam, and 5 to 20 mm in Jeju Island.

In northern Seoul, Incheon, northern Gyeonggi, and central and northern inland Gangwon, very heavy showers of around 30 mm per hour are expected from early morning to morning, so caution is advised to prevent safety accidents.

Morning lows are forecast to range from 22 to 27 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs from 30 to 35 degrees Celsius.

Fine dust concentrations are expected to remain at a 'good' level nationwide due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

Wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the East and West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 meters in the South Sea coastal waters.

In the open sea (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West and South Seas.
