Temperatures will be similar to or slightly higher than the seasonal average. In many inland areas across the nation, daytime highs will exceed 30 degrees Celsius, and due to high humidity, the maximum perceived temperature will rise to around 31 degrees Celsius, making it feel quite hot.

The forecasted daytime highs for major cities are as follows: Seoul at 29 degrees Celsius, Incheon at 28 degrees, Chuncheon at 30 degrees, Gangneung at 28 degrees, Daejeon at 29 degrees, Daegu at 32 degrees, Jeonju at 29 degrees, Gwangju at 30 degrees, Busan at 28 degrees, and Jeju at 31 degrees.

Fine dust levels are expected to remain at 'good' across all regions, thanks to smooth atmospheric diffusion and the effects of rain.
