Morning lows will range from 23 to 27 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs will range from 30 to 36 degrees Celsius, which is similar to or slightly higher than average for this time of year. In Seoul, the low will be 27 degrees and the high will reach 33 degrees. In Incheon, temperatures are expected to range from 26 to 30 degrees, and in Suwon from 25 to 32 degrees.

Tropical nights are also expected in many areas.

Fine dust levels are expected to remain at a 'good' level nationwide, due to active atmospheric dispersion and the effects of precipitation.

In offshore waters (up to about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the South Sea.

For the time being, strong swells are expected to flow into the southern coast and the coast of Jeju Island, with high waves possibly overtopping rocks, breakwaters, and coastal roads. Caution is advised for safety.
