[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] On Thursday (the 2nd), the sky will be mostly cloudy nationwide, with showers expected from the afternoon. Additionally, daytime temperatures will rise to around 30 degrees Celsius, making it hot, especially in inland areas.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts that between 3 PM and 9 PM, showers of 5 to 40 mm will fall in places including Seoul, eastern Gyeonggi, western Gangwon, inland Chungcheong, inland Jeolla, and western inland Gyeongsang.

Temperatures will be higher than the previous day, with daytime temperatures rising to around 30 degrees Celsius mainly in inland regions, resulting in hot weather.

The morning low temperatures are expected to be △Seoul 20°C △Daejeon 19°C △Daegu 19°C △Busan 20°C △Jeonju 19°C △Gwangju 19°C △Cheongju 20°C △Chuncheon 18°C △Gangneung 18°C △Jeju 20°C △Ulleungdo·Dokdo 18°C △Baengnyeongdo 18°C.

The daytime high temperatures are forecasted as △Seoul 29°C △Daejeon 30°C △Daegu 29°C △Busan 26°C △Jeonju 29°C △Gwangju 29°C △Cheongju 29°C △Chuncheon 30°C △Gangneung 28°C △Jeju 25°C △Ulleungdo·Dokdo 24°C △Baengnyeongdo 24°C.

With smooth atmospheric dispersion, fine dust levels are expected to be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' nationwide.

However, due to stagnant air, fine dust generated domestically is expected to accumulate in the southern Gyeonggi region, temporarily reaching 'Bad' levels in the morning.

Meanwhile, the Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "Until morning, sea fog formed over the West Sea will move inland, and as ground temperatures drop overnight causing water vapor to condense, fog with visibility less than 1 km may form mainly in the central inland areas. Please exercise extra caution for traffic safety."
