It's forecast to pass into the south of the Korean peninsula and turn to the northeast arriving in Busan at around 11PM. Moist air is expected to cause unstable weather conditions in large areas of Eastern Korea.
East coast regions are expected to receive the most rain. The further west you are the drier you'll be. Those of you having a summer vacation in eastern coastal areas will need to take special care.
