[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] On Wednesday the 17th, there will be occasional clouds nationwide, with rain starting from daytime in Jeju Island and from nighttime in Jeonnam. Expected precipitation amounts are 80?150mm (over 200mm in some areas) for Jeju Island, 30?80mm for the southern coast, and 5?40mm for the southern regions. Morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 16 and 21 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs between 24 and 32 degrees Celsius.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions. However, most of the central-western areas including the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungbuk, and Chungnam are expected to experience 'Bad' levels in the morning due to stagnant air causing accumulation of domestically generated fine dust.

Dense fog is expected mainly along the west coast, and there may be thunder and lightning in Jeju Island and the southern sea areas, so caution is advised for maritime safety accidents.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1 meter near the shore in the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea. Offshore wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea and South Sea, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea.
