The expected rainfall over two days from the 2nd to the 3rd is 5 to 40 mm for Gangwon Yeongdong and the northern Donghae coast and northeastern mountains of North Gyeongsang Province, 5 to 20 mm for Jeolla Province and the southern Donghae coast of North Gyeongsang, 5 to 10 mm for Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang, and around 5 mm for Daegu and inland North Gyeongsang. Jeju Island is forecasted to receive 5 to 40 mm of rain from the 3rd to the 4th.

The morning low temperatures are expected to be between 19 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 27 and 32 degrees Celsius. In Jeolla Province, the highest perceived temperature will rise to around 33 degrees Celsius, making it very hot.

On the Gyeongsang coastal areas, winds will blow strongly with gusts around 15 meters per second.

On the East Coast, high waves caused by swells will strongly rush onto sandy beaches or overflow rocky shores and breakwaters, so caution is advised for coastal safety accidents.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea and South Sea nearshore waters, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore waters. In the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea and South Sea.
