[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Starting from Seoul and the metropolitan area, rain is expected nationwide on the evening of the 21st.

On the 21st, the Korea Meteorological Administration announced that due to the influence of a low-pressure system approaching from the southwest, rain will begin on the west coast of Chungnam from noon, and in the metropolitan area, inland Chungnam, and the west coast of Jeolla from 3 p.m.

From 6 p.m., rain is expected nationwide. The expected precipitation amounts until the morning of the 22nd are 5?20 mm in Chungnam, Jeolla, Gyeongnam, and Jeju. Around 5 mm in the metropolitan area, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Chungbuk, inland Gyeongbuk, and the five western islands; around 1 mm on the eastern coast of Gangwon, eastern coast of Gyeongbuk, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo.

Snowfall of 1?5 cm is forecasted in Yeongseo, Gangwon, and northern Gyeonggi from night on the 21st to early morning on the 22nd. Other regions are expected to have temperatures above freezing, so mostly rain is expected.

The highest daytime temperature is expected to rise by about 2 degrees compared to the previous day, with the central region reaching above 5 degrees and most of the southern region above 10 degrees.

From the 22nd to the 24th, most areas nationwide (except the metropolitan area and Yeongseo, Gangwon) may experience rain or snow.
