[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] On Friday (the 3rd), the sky will be mostly cloudy nationwide.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the previous day (the 2nd), most regions will experience occasional heavy clouds due to the influence of a high-pressure system located in central China.

Additionally, from dawn to morning, sporadic snowflakes or raindrops may fall in the Jeolla West Coast area.

The morning low temperatures are expected to be △Seoul -3°C △Daejeon -2°C △Daegu 0°C △Busan 3°C △Jeonju 1°C △Gwangju 1°C △Cheongju -2°C △Chuncheon -5°C △Gangneung 2°C △Jeju 8°C △Ulleungdo·Dokdo 4°C.

The daytime high temperatures are forecasted to be △Seoul 5°C △Daejeon 8°C △Daegu 9°C △Busan 11°C △Jeonju 8°C △Gwangju 9°C △Cheongju 6°C △Chuncheon 5°C △Gangneung 11°C △Jeju 11°C △Ulleungdo·Dokdo 8°C.

Fine dust levels will be at a 'moderate' level in Gangwon Yeongdong, while most other areas will experience 'bad' levels.

According to the National Institute of Environmental Research's Air Quality Integrated Forecast Center, due to stagnant air, fine dust generated domestically and foreign fine dust inflowing from the previous day will accumulate, resulting in high fine dust concentrations in most regions.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "The dry weather warning is in effect for Gangwon Yeongdong and the Gyeongsang coastal areas, where the air will be very dry. Especially in the Gangwon mountain areas, strong winds will blow until the 3rd, so even a small spark can lead to a large fire. Please be cautious to prevent forest fires."
