The morning low temperatures are forecast to range from 23 to 28 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs from 31 to 36 degrees Celsius.

Fine dust concentrations are expected to remain at 'good' to 'moderate' levels nationwide due to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the effects of rainfall.

Wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the coastal waters of the East Sea and South Sea, and 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the coastal waters of the West Sea. In the offshore areas (up to about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 3.5 meters in the South Sea.
