The morning low temperatures will range from 4 to 11 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs will be between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius. Due to the influence of yellow dust in some areas, fine dust levels are forecasted to be 'bad' in Chungnam, Honam, and Yeongnam regions, while other areas will have 'moderate' levels.

The atmosphere will be very dry in the Seoul metropolitan area, northern inland Gangwon Yeongseo, and inland Chungcheong regions, with dryness gradually increasing in other areas. Winds will also blow strongly in some places, so special attention is needed to prevent fires.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea coastal waters.
