South Korea is set for a day of milder weather on Tuesday, with temperatures expected to be cooler than recent days. Daytime high temperatures will range between 21 and 29 degrees Celsius across the country. The shift comes as scattered showers are forecast to move through eastern regions, particularly during the afternoon hours.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) has issued a forecast for showers in the inland southern parts of Gangwon Province and the mountainous areas of Gangwon and Gyeongbuk. The expected rainfall is minimal, around 5 millimeters in affected areas.

Residents in these regions should exercise caution as the showers may be accompanied by strong gusts of wind, thunder, and lightning. There is also a possibility of hail, prompting warnings for property management and safety precautions. The KMA noted that rainfall intensity can vary significantly even within the same area due to the nature of showers, advising the public to check real-time radar information and the latest weather updates.
