Most of the rain is expected to stop at night. However, in Yeongdong, Gangwon, and Jeju it will continue until the morning of the 18th, and in the Gyeongsang region until the afternoon. In areas where it rains through the 18th, there will be places with thunder and lightning accompanied by gusts.

Expected precipitation for the 16th–17th is 10–60 millimeters in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, the Chungcheong region, Daegu and North Gyeongsang, North Jeolla, and Jeju. Gwangju and South Jeolla will see 10–50 millimeters, and Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang will see 5–40 millimeters.

Morning lows will be 21–25 C, and daytime highs will be 24–32 C. With heat advisories in effect for parts of South Jeolla, the Gyeongsang region, and the Jeju coast, the apparent temperature will rise to around 33 C mainly in the southern region through the 17th, leaving some areas sweltering.

Fine dust levels will be at a "good" level across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the effects of precipitation.
