On Friday, the 23rd, the early summer heat will subside.

The morning low will be between 10 and 17 degrees, and the daytime high will be between 17 and 24 degrees, which is similar to or slightly lower than usual. In particular, the daytime high on the east coast of Gangwon will be 3 to 5 degrees lower than usual.

The nation will be mostly cloudy, with rain expected from early morning to morning in the West Coast of South Chungcheong Province, and from night in northern Gyeonggi Province, the coast of South Jeolla Province, and Jeju Island.

The fine dust concentration is expected to be at a level of 'good' to 'normal' nationwide due to smooth atmospheric diffusion.

The sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea and South Sea, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea.

The wave height in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) is predicted to be 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea.
