According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration, on the 7th, Gwangju and Jeonnam will be mostly clear as they fall on the edge of a high-pressure system over the southern seas of Japan. However, from the afternoon, clouds will increase at times. The maximum daytime temperature is expected to range from 25 to 31 degrees Celsius.

The following day will also see clear weather, but inland Jeonnam will be even hotter. Morning temperatures will be between 17 and 20 degrees Celsius, and daytime temperatures will be around 24 to 30 degrees Celsius.
