According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, showers with gusty winds, thunder, and lightning are forecast for most central regions except for Yeongdong in Gangwon, as well as Jeonbuk, northern Jeonnam, and inland Gyeongbuk. Some areas may also experience hail.

These showers are expected to fall from the afternoon into the evening in central regions, Jeonbuk, northern Jeonnam, and the western inland. In southeastern Gyeonggi and southern inland Gangwon, rain is expected to continue until late at night.

The expected precipitation is 5–50 mm for the Seoul metropolitan area, 5–30 mm for inland Gangwon, 5–50 mm for Chungcheong and Jeolla regions, and 5–30 mm for inland Gyeongbuk and western inland Gyeongnam.

In particular, some locations in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungnam, and Jeonnam may see heavy rain of around 20 mm per hour.

The Korea Meteorological Administration has advised caution, noting that visibility may decrease rapidly and roads may become slippery in areas with rain, so extra attention to traffic safety is necessary.

Morning lows are forecast to range from 14 to 20 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs are expected to reach 25 to 31 degrees. For the time being, temperatures will be slightly higher than the seasonal averages (morning lows of 15–19 degrees, highs of 23–29 degrees), with most regions nationwide rising to around 30 degrees.

Aside from the rainy areas, the entire country will see considerable cloud cover and overcast skies. Dense fog is also expected along the west coast, so drivers should take extra care to avoid collisions and ensure safe driving.
