[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] On Wednesday, the 2nd, due to the influence of Typhoon No. 9 'Maysak (MAYSAK)', strong winds and heavy rain are expected in various areas.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 1st, the expected rainfall from the next day until the 3rd is forecasted as follows: Gangwon Yeongdong, Gyeongbuk East Coast, Gyeongnam, eastern Jeolla, and Jeju Island (with heavy rainfall exceeding 400mm in Gangwon East Coast, Gyeongsang East Coast, and Jeju Mountain areas), Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Yeongseo, and Chungbuk are expected to receive 100 to 200mm. Maximum instantaneous wind speeds are expected to be 30 to 50 m/s along the Jeju Island and Gyeongsang coast, 20 to 40 m/s in Gangwon Yeongdong and southern regions, and 10 to 30 m/s in other areas.

Due to the typhoon's influence, cloudy skies and rain will prevent daytime temperatures from rising significantly. Morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 21 and 26 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs between 24 and 31 degrees Celsius. Thanks to favorable atmospheric dispersion and the effect of precipitation, fine dust concentrations are expected to be at a 'Good' level across all regions.

Sea waves will be very high, with 1 to 8 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 1.5 to 10 meters in the South Sea coastal waters. Offshore wave heights are forecasted at 1 to 8 meters in the East Sea, 1 to 7 meters in the West Sea, and 3 to 12 meters in the South Sea. The Korea Meteorological Administration urged caution, stating, "Strong winds and high waves across all seas may cause damage to ships, aquaculture farms, and other maritime facilities, so special attention is required."
