According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 10th, the central regions are expected to be mostly clear on the 11th, while the southern regions and Jeju Island will be mostly cloudy.


With heatwave advisories in effect mainly for the metropolitan and southern areas, the maximum apparent temperature is expected to reach around 33 degrees Celsius for the time being. Special caution is required, as the apparent temperature in indoor and outdoor workplaces, rice paddies, fields, and roads may be even higher than at sites where meteorological equipment is installed.


In urban and coastal areas, some locations may experience tropical nights, with nighttime minimum temperatures remaining at 25 degrees Celsius or higher. For the next few days, morning temperatures are expected to be similar to or slightly lower than the average minimum (21–24 degrees), while daytime highs will be similar to or somewhat higher than the average maximum temperature (28–32 degrees). On the 11th, morning lows will range between 19 and 25 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs between 27 and 34 degrees Celsius.


The main regional morning lows will be as follows: Seoul, Incheon, Suwon, and Busan at 24 degrees; Chuncheon at 20 degrees; Gangneung at 21 degrees; Cheongju and Daejeon at 23 degrees; Jeonju and Gwangju at 25 degrees; Daegu at 22 degrees; and Jeju at 26 degrees Celsius.


Daytime highs are forecast as follows: Seoul, Incheon, Jeonju, and Gwangju at 34 degrees; Suwon at 33 degrees; Cheongju and Daejeon at 32 degrees; Chuncheon, Daegu, and Busan at 31 degrees; Jeju at 30 degrees; and Gangneung at 27 degrees Celsius. At sea, caution is advised due to strong winds and high waves. In the far inner seas of the southeastern South Sea and the northern coastal waters of Jeju Island, winds will be very strong at 30–70 km/h, and wave heights will be high at 2.0–4.0 meters.



Strong swells will continue to affect the coasts of South Jeolla Province and Jeju Island, the southern coast of South Gyeongsang Province, and the east coast for the time being. High waves may crash strongly onto sandy beaches or over rocks and breakwaters, and there is a risk of flooding in low-lying coastal areas. Fine dust levels are expected to remain at a 'good' level nationwide.
