[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On Saturday the 12th, the sky will be mostly cloudy nationwide but will gradually clear up, with fine dust concentrations expected to be high in most areas.

Due to stagnant air, fine dust will accumulate, resulting in poor fine dust levels in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong region, Gwangju, and Jeonbuk, while other regions will experience moderate levels.

The morning low temperature is forecasted to be between -5 and 7 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high between 5 and 12 degrees Celsius. A dry weather advisory is in effect for Gangwon Yeongdong, the Gyeongsang coastal areas, and the northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk, where the air will be very dry; many other areas will also experience dry conditions.

Dense fog is expected in central inland areas, so caution is advised for traffic safety. Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea and South Sea nearshore. Offshore wave heights are expected to be 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the South Sea.
