[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Hee-eun Park] Today, Monday the 23rd, the entire country will be clear, but due to dry air conditions, caution is needed to prevent fires.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 22nd, today (the 23rd) will be clear nationwide under the influence of high pressure located near the Shandong Peninsula in China.

Meanwhile, dry weather warnings have been issued for some central inland areas, Gangwon Yeongdong, Gyeongsang Province, eastern Jeolla, and Jeju. Other regions are also dry, and it is expected that dry weather warnings may be expanded or strengthened.

Regarding this, the Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "Since even a small spark can lead to a fire, caution is necessary to prevent fires."

The morning low temperatures are predicted to be between -1 and 8 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 12 and 20 degrees Celsius. However, temperature differences between day and night, especially inland, are expected to exceed 10 degrees Celsius, so attention to the diurnal temperature range is required.
