[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] On Saturday the 15th, the sky will be mostly cloudy nationwide and gradually become overcast from 12 PM.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the country will be under the influence of the edge of a high-pressure system located over the East Sea and a pressure trough approaching from the northwest, resulting in occasional clouds nationwide and gradually becoming overcast from the afternoon.

Rain will fall in Gangwon Yeongdong from dawn, and in the central region and Jeolla Province from night.

Expected precipitation amounts are 5-20 mm in Gangwon Yeongdong, and around 5 mm in the central region, Jeolla Province, and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk.

According to the National Institute of Environmental Research, due to stagnant air in the central and some southern regions, fine dust from the previous day and domestically generated fine dust will accumulate, and foreign fine dust will be brought in by easterly winds, resulting in 'bad' levels in most areas.

The morning low temperatures are expected to be ▲Seoul 7°C ▲Daejeon 7°C ▲Daegu 6°C ▲Busan 9°C ▲Jeonju 6°C ▲Gwangju 8°C ▲Chuncheon 3°C ▲Gangneung 8°C ▲Jeju 12°C ▲Ulleungdo·Dokdo 6°C.
