The lowest morning temperatures on Friday (the 9th) will range from 22 to 27 degrees Celsius, and the highest daytime temperatures will be between 32 and 35 degrees Celsius.
Tropical nights will occur nationwide overnight, and the perceived temperature during the day will rise to around 35 degrees Celsius at its peak.
The expected lowest and highest temperatures in major cities are Seoul at 26 and 34 degrees, Incheon and Ulsan at 26 and 32 degrees, Daejeon and Gwangju at 25 and 34 degrees, Daegu at 26 and 34 degrees, and Busan at 27 and 34 degrees Celsius.
Due to hot lower atmospheric air causing atmospheric instability, showers will occur frequently.
Showers are expected at times in most regions nationwide until the night of the 8th. In Honam and Gyeongnam, showers will continue until the early morning of the 9th.
On the 9th, showers will fall in Jeju from late dawn until the afternoon, and in the Gangwon mountain area and southern regions from morning until evening. In Honam, showers are expected until late at night.

Shower precipitation amounts will be around 5 to 60 mm in Jeju, and about 5 to 40 mm in other regions.
In Honam and Jeju, hourly precipitation may reach around 30 mm, so preparations should be made for heavy showers.
During the day, strong sunlight will cause photochemical reactions with air pollutants, leading to high ozone concentrations mainly in the central-western and southern regions.
Ozone levels will be 'very bad' in Seoul and southern Gyeonggi, and 'bad' in Incheon, northern Gyeonggi, Chungnam, Jeonnam, and Yeongnam.
In southern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, inland Chungcheong, and inland Jeonbuk, dense fog reducing visibility to less than 200 meters will form from dawn to morning. Other regions will also experience fog with visibility under 1 km.
