On May 23, overcast skies will prevail nationwide, with rain expected in most areas. Dense fog is anticipated in the mountainous regions of Gangwon and some inland areas, prompting caution for traffic safety.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, rain will begin in Busan, Ulsan, and the eastern coast of North Gyeongsang Province from early morning until the afternoon, spreading to most of the country except for the eastern coast of Gangwon.
Expected rainfall amounts are less than 5 mm in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi Province, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeolla, Gyeongsang, and Jeju Island, while the five western islands may see 5 to 10 mm.
The weather agency advised that roads may become slippery and visibility could be reduced in areas experiencing rain, urging drivers to maintain a safe distance and reduce speed.
In the mountainous regions of Gangwon, visibility may drop below 200 meters due to dense fog, while inland areas of Jeolla are expected to see visibility under 1 kilometer.
Maritime conditions are also expected to be poor. Thunderstorms and gusty winds may occur, particularly over the Yellow Sea, where dense sea fog is likely.
On the eastern coast, high waves may wash over breakwaters and sandy beaches due to swells, necessitating extra caution for coastal safety.
Morning low temperatures are forecasted to range from 10 to 16 degrees Celsius, with daytime highs expected between 18 and 24 degrees.
