On Tuesday the 17th, which is also Chuseok, showers are expected in most parts of the country, but the showers will gradually stop from night, allowing the full moon to be seen through the clouds.

Showers are forecast from dawn in the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungcheong region, and from morning through the night in most other parts of the country.

Expected rainfall from the showers is 5 to 30 mm in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, and Chungbuk; 5 to 40 mm in Jeonbuk, Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Ulsan, Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island; and 5 to 60 mm in Gwangju and Jeonnam.

In areas experiencing showers, there may be gusts of wind along with thunder and lightning. In Jeolla region and inland Gyeongnam, heavy showers of 20 to 30 mm per hour are expected, and in other areas, strong showers around 20 mm per hour may occur, so caution is needed to prevent safety accidents.

Across the country, with occasional clouds, the highest apparent temperatures will rise to 33 to 35 degrees Celsius (above 35 degrees in some western areas), making it very hot, especially in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong region, southern regions, and Jeju Island.

The morning low temperatures are forecast to be between 22 and 27 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 29 and 34 degrees Celsius.

Morning low temperatures in major areas are Seoul 26°C, Incheon 26°C, Suwon 25°C, Chuncheon 23°C, Gangneung 24°C, Cheongju 26°C, Daejeon 24°C, Jeonju 26°C, Gwangju 26°C, Daegu 25°C, Busan 27°C, and Jeju 27°C.

Temperatures will remain higher than average (morning lows 14 to 20°C, daytime highs 24 to 28°C) for the time being, and many places will experience tropical nights.

From dawn to morning, fog reducing visibility to less than 1 km is expected mainly inland. On roads near rivers, lakes, and valleys inland, fog may be denser than surrounding areas, so caution is advised to prevent collisions while driving.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' nationwide due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the coastal waters of the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are predicted to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea.
