In the southern regions and Jeju Island, where heatwave warnings have been issued, the highest apparent temperatures will be around 33 degrees Celsius, making it very hot, while other areas will see temperatures rise to around 31 degrees Celsius.

In the mountainous areas of Gangwon, strong winds exceeding 25 meters per second are expected from dawn until afternoon, with a possibility of a strong wind advisory being issued.

Fine dust levels will be 'good' nationwide due to favorable atmospheric dispersion and the effects of precipitation.

In the outer seas (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are predicted to be 1.5 to 4.0 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea and South Sea.
