Heatwave advisories have been issued for most parts of the country. In particular, Jeonnam and Gyeongsang regions are expected to see extreme, life-threatening heat with daytime highs exceeding 39 degrees Celsius. In other regions, the highest perceived temperatures will also approach around 35 degrees Celsius, resulting in continued hot weather.


Between late afternoon and evening, some showers are expected in the southern inland areas of Gangwon and the northern part of Chungbuk. Expected rainfall in these regions is between 5 and 10 mm.


Clouds will be intermittent over the central region, while southern areas and Jeju Island will remain mostly clear. From early morning to morning, dense fog with visibility below 1 km is likely to occur in parts of Incheon, the western coast of Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon, the Chungcheong region, and other parts of Jeolla Province.
