The morning low will range between 24 and 26 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high is expected to be between 32 and 37 degrees Celsius, both higher than the average year (lows of 21-24 degrees, highs of 28-33 degrees).

Except for some parts of the central region, such as Incheon, most areas will see daytime highs around 35 degrees Celsius. In particular, cities in South Gyeongsang Province, such as Yangsan, Uiryung, and Changnyeong, are expected to experience extreme heat with maximum perceived temperatures exceeding 39 degrees Celsius.

The minimum and maximum daytime temperatures by region are forecast as follows: Seoul 26~34°C, Incheon 26~32°C, Suwon 26~33°C, Chuncheon 25~34°C, Gangneung 26~36°C, Cheongju 26~35°C, Daejeon 26~34°C, Sejong 24~34°C, Jeonju 26~35°C, Gwangju 26~34°C, Daegu 25~37°C, Busan 26~35°C, Ulsan 26~36°C, Changwon 25~37°C, and Jeju 27~33°C.

In particular, tropical nights with minimum temperatures remaining above 25 degrees Celsius are also expected to continue, so extra caution is needed for health management. A tropical night occurs when the heat of the day does not dissipate even after nightfall.

Waves on the sea will range from 0.5 to 1.0 meters high in the coastal waters of the East Sea and South Sea, and from 0.5 to 0.5 meters in the coastal waters of the West Sea.
