[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] On Sunday the 15th, the whole country will be mostly clear, but light fog will continue during the day in Gyeonggi, Chungnam, inland areas of Jeonbuk, and Gyeongnam.

Due to stagnant air, fine dust concentrations within the fog are also appearing high. On this day, the western regions including the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungnam, and Jeonbuk are expected to maintain 'bad' levels of ultrafine dust concentration, so caution is needed for outdoor activities.

The fog and high concentrations of fine dust are expected to continue until the day after tomorrow.

With a dry weather advisory issued for the Yeongdong region of Gangwon, dry weather continues across most parts of the country, so caution is required regarding wildfires.

Jeju Island will experience occasional rain starting in the afternoon, and sporadic raindrops will fall during the day in northern Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon Yeongseo regions.

Today's daytime temperatures will be similar to or slightly lower than yesterday, ranging from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius nationwide, with Seoul at 17 degrees.

Sea waves will be relatively high, around 2 meters, in the distant southern sea off Jeju Island.

On Monday the 16th, clouds will be widespread nationwide but will clear up from the afternoon, with light rain expected in some parts of the Gangwon Yeongdong region during the day.
