People should be especially cautious of strong winds and high waves today. Strong wind advisories are currently in effect for Yeosu, Goheung County, and Wando in South Jeolla Province, as well as Geomundo Island, Chodo Island, and Jeju Island. In some coastal areas and on Jeju Island, wind gusts may exceed 70 km/h, while mountainous areas could see exceptionally strong gusts of more than 90 km/h.
In most other parts of the country, wind gusts of around 55 km/h are expected through the 7th, with mountainous areas seeing gusts of around 70 km/h. Strong winds could also disrupt aircraft operations.
High waves are also expected mainly in the southern and Jeju Island seas and the East Sea. Winds will be very strong, reaching 30–70 km/h, and waves will rise to 2–4 meters, particularly in the southern East Sea, eastern South Sea, and waters around Jeju Island. Waves in the southern offshore waters of Jeju Island and the eastern offshore waters of the South Sea could reach more than 5 meters.
Strong swells are expected to continue affecting the coasts of the East Sea, the southern coast of South Gyeongsang Province, and Jeju Island for the time being. High waves may overtop coastal rocks and breakwaters, so caution is advised when visiting coastal areas or fishing.
Some mountainous areas of Gangwon State may experience dense fog, with visibility falling below 200 meters due to easterly winds. Visibility may also be reduced and roads may become slippery in areas receiving rain.
