Original Korean Read in English

On May 27th, most of the nation experienced foggy conditions with rainfall or drizzle. Elevated waves were noted primarily around the South Sea and the island of Jeju. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration's weather forecast, rainfall is expected from the early morning until the evening in the northern inland and mountainous areas of Incheon and Gangwon, as well as in the northern mountainous regions of Jeju and South and North Jeolla, Yeongju, and the coastal regions of South Gyeongsang and North Jeolla.

Rainfall amounts range from 5 to 60mm in these areas. Coastal regions of Chungnam, Chungcheong, and the north of the Korean Peninsula are expected to experience showers until the evening. The anticipated maximum temperature for the day is between 29 to 34 degrees Celsius. While the temperature may temporarily drop in regions experiencing rain or drizzle, a return to humidity and higher temperatures is expected once the precipitation ends.

A heat advisory is in effect across most regions of the country, with some areas in the central and southern parts of the country expected to be released from the heat advisory. Meanwhile, wind warnings have been issued for the southern outer areas of the Sea of Japan, the southern Sea of Korea, and the West Sea of Jeju, with winds ranging from 30 to 70 km/h (9 to 20 mph) and waves up to 2 to 4 meters high.

Strong onshore winds along the coast of Jeolla and South Gyeongsang may cause beach erosion or pose safety hazards. The Korea Meteorological Administration advises caution as the "moon tide" heightens, urging people to avoid coastal areas during this time to prevent flooding or accidents. Air quality in all regions is currently rated as "good."
