[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] On Saturday the 6th, the whole country will be mostly clear, and daytime temperatures will be mild around 10 degrees Celsius.

The morning low temperatures are forecast to be between -4 and 5 degrees, and the daytime highs between 8 and 16 degrees Celsius.

From dawn to morning, there will be scattered raindrops in the eastern Gyeonggi area and Yeongseo region of Gangwon, with some snow flurries in the mountainous areas of Gangwon.

At night, light rain is expected in Gangwon Yeongseo, northern Chungbuk, northern Chungcheong, and southern Gyeonggi. The expected precipitation amount is around 1 mm.

Fine dust levels will be 'bad' in the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungnam, and 'normal' in other regions.

The Korea Meteorological Administration explained, "Due to stagnant air in most of the central-western regions and parts of Yeongnam, domestically generated fine dust will accumulate, and in the afternoon, foreign fine dust will add to it, causing high concentrations."

Strong winds and high waves are expected in the East Sea offshore waters, so ships navigating or fishing should be cautious.

Wave heights will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore.
