Fine dust concentration will be at a 'Good' level nationwide due to smooth atmospheric dispersion. In the mountainous areas of Gangwon, dense fog below 200 meters is expected in some places due to low clouds.

Strong winds with gusts exceeding 55 km/h (15 m/s) are expected in the southern coast and Jeju Island. The Korea Meteorological Administration reported that strong winds of 35 to 60 km/h (10 to 16 m/s) will blow until the afternoon in the outer seas of the central East Sea and the northern outer seas of the southern East Sea, where a wind wave advisory has been issued, causing high waves at sea, so caution is advised.

Furthermore, along the East Sea coast, southern coast, and Jeju Island coast, high waves caused by swell will occasionally surpass breakwaters or coastal roads for the time being. Wave heights are predicted to be 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore. In the inner outer seas (outer seas within about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights will be 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the East and South Seas, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea.
