[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] On the 1st, the nation will be mostly cloudy, with Jeju Island experiencing rain due to the indirect effects of Typhoon No. 9 'Maysak'.

The rain will begin around 6 a.m. starting from Jeju Island and expand to Jeollanam-do by around 6 p.m. The expected precipitation amounts are 20?60 mm for Jeollanam-do and Jeju Island, and 5?30 mm for the West Sea Five Islands.

While heatwave warnings are in effect for most parts of the country, daytime temperatures in the central region will slightly decrease, but the southern region will still feel hot with apparent temperatures rising above 33 degrees Celsius.

Due to easterly winds, many areas in Gangwon Yeongdong and the eastern coast of Gyeongsangbuk-do will have daytime temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius. Morning lows are forecasted at 20?24 degrees, and daytime highs at 25?33 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, due to the influence of Typhoon Maysak, rain is expected to spread nationwide on the morning of the 2nd and continue until the night of the 3rd.

Precipitation from the typhoon is expected to be 100?300 mm, mainly in Gyeongnam, the eastern coast, Gangwon Yeongdong, and Jeju Island, which are close to the typhoon's path.

Especially in the eastern coast of Gangwon, the eastern coast of Gyeongsang, and the mountainous areas of Jeju, rainfall exceeding 400 mm is expected.

Additionally, Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do excluding the eastern coast, Chungbuk, and Gangwon Yeongseo are expected to receive 100?200 mm of rain, while other regions will see 50?150 mm.

Maximum instantaneous wind speeds of 30?50 m/s may be recorded mainly along the eastern coast of Gyeongsang and Jeju Island, which are close to the typhoon's path, so residents should be cautious of heavy rain and strong winds.
