The lowest morning temperatures tomorrow are forecast to range from 22 to 27 degrees Celsius, while the highest daytime temperatures are expected to reach between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius. The highest temperatures by region are expected to be 33 degrees in Seoul, 30 degrees in Incheon, 34 degrees in Daejeon, 35 degrees in Gwangju, 35 degrees in Daegu, and 32 degrees in Busan.

While skies will be partly cloudy across the country, Jeju Island is expected to remain clear. In the afternoon, showers may occur in the inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon, northern North Chungcheong, and the northeastern inland and mountainous areas of North Gyeongsang. The expected rainfall is between 5 and 30 millimeters. Between dawn and morning, some areas in the northern inland region of Gangwon may see less than 0.1 millimeters of raindrops.

Fine dust concentrations are expected to remain at 'good' to 'moderate' levels nationwide due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

Waves in the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea coastal waters are expected to be around 0.5 to 1.0 meters high. In the offshore areas (about 200 kilometers from the coastline), wave heights are expected to range from 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea and West Sea, and from 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea.
