Showers are forecast across much of South Korea on Monday.

Rain is expected between the afternoon and evening in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi Province and other central inland areas, as well as eastern North Jeolla Province, the central and northern inland areas of North Gyeongsang Province, and parts of Jeju Island.

Rainfall is expected to reach 5 to 10 millimeters.

Morning lows will range from 13 to 20 degrees Celsius, with afternoon highs of 22 to 28 degrees Celsius.

The air will be particularly dry in central inland areas, and residents are urged to take precautions against wildfires and other fire hazards.

Wave heights are forecast at 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the coastal waters of the East Sea and South Sea, and around 0.5 meters in the West Sea. In the outer offshore waters — within roughly 200 kilometers of the coastline — waves are expected to reach 0.5 to 1.5 meters across the East Sea, West Sea and South Sea.
