The eastern coastal regions and Jeju Island are expected to experience rain. The maximum perceived temperature is expected to reach around 33 degrees Celsius, bringing an end to the intense heatwave. However, the heatwave that has been affecting the country is expected to gradually subside. The Korea Meteorological Administration stated on the 23rd that "a low-pressure system that has developed in the East Sea will move eastward, bringing rain to the eastern coastal regions and Jeju Island." The rain will begin in the Gangwon-do and Gyeongbuk-do regions from around 9 am on the 23rd, and will then spread to the eastern coastal regions of Gangwon-do and Gyeongbuk-do, as well as Jeju Island. The expected amount of rainfall is 5-20 mm for the Gangwon-do and Gyeongbuk-do regions, and 10-30 mm for Jeju Island. The maximum temperature on the 23rd will reach 28-31 degrees Celsius in most regions, with the perceived temperature reaching around 33 degrees Celsius due to the humidity. The Korea Meteorological Administration stated that "although the heatwave will subside somewhat, the temperature will still be high, so we ask that you continue to take precautions against the heat." The heatwave warning that has been in effect for the Seoul metropolitan area, as well as the Gangwon-do and Chungcheong-do regions, will be lifted on the 23rd. However, heatwave warnings and advisories will still be in effect for some regions, including the North Jeolla-do and South Jeolla-do regions. The Korea Meteorological Administration predicted that "the heatwave will gradually subside as a cold front moves in from the north on the 24th." The temperature will drop significantly on the 24th, with the maximum temperature expected to reach 26-29 degrees Celsius. The Korea Meteorological Administration stated that "we will provide continuous updates on the weather forecast, and ask that you take necessary precautions against the heat and rain."

Trump said on the 5th (local time) that he would respond to Iran with "a lock" but did not specify what that meant. It appears that the Trump administration intends to put more economic pressure on Iran rather than taking military action. In a tweet on the 5th, President Trump said, "The United States will respond to the attack by the Quds Force and other Iranian forces on Saudi Aramco facilities with a 'lock'," adding, "We are waiting for identification from Saudi Arabia." On the 14th of last month, there was an attack on Saudi Aramco's Abqaiq oil processing facility and the Khurais oil field in eastern Saudi Arabia. The US and Saudi Arabia have accused Iran of being behind the attack. At a press conference on the 4th, President Trump said, "The United States is prepared to defend our interests and our allies, but we will seek a peaceful solution." On the 3rd, the US Treasury Department announced that it had imposed sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran and other Iranian financial institutions. In a speech at the United Nations General Assembly on the 25th of last month, President Trump urged Iran to come to the negotiating table, saying, "The Iranian regime can either choose a path of meaningful diplomacy or more sanctions."
