In the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province, it will be mostly cloudy but will gradually clear up from the night. In the Chungcheong region and southern provinces, it will largely remain cloudy, but there will be occasional periods of heavy cloud cover between the morning and afternoon. For Jeju Island, 30 to 80 millimeters of rain is expected to fall from 9 a.m. In addition, from the early morning of June 1, very strong winds of 30 to 60 kilometers per hour and very high waves of 1.5 to 4.0 meters are expected in the outer seas south of Jeju and in the eastern outer seas of the southern coast. From the afternoon, this will affect other offshore areas around Jeju (except the northern nearshore) and the eastern outer seas of the southwestern coast.

Fine dust levels are expected to range from 'good' to 'moderate' in all regions.
