[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] On the 11th, the sky will be mostly cloudy nationwide, becoming overcast from the afternoon. Rain is expected to begin in Jeju from the evening and in Jeonnam from night, spreading to the southern regions and Chungcheong area by the early morning of the 12th.

Expected precipitation until the 12th is forecasted as 20?60mm in Jeju, 10?40mm along the southern coast of Jeonnam and the coast of Gyeongnam, and 5?10mm in the Jeolla region (excluding the southern coast) and inland Gyeongnam. The Chungcheong region, Gyeongbuk region, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo are expected to receive less than 5mm of rain.

The morning low temperatures will range from -2 to 6 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs will be between 13 and 19 degrees Celsius, resulting in a very large temperature difference. Fine dust levels will be poor in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong region, and Jeonbuk, while other regions will have moderate levels. However, the Seoul metropolitan area will experience temporarily very poor fine dust levels in the morning. The Ministry of Environment announced that emergency fine dust reduction measures will be implemented throughout the Seoul metropolitan area.

As temperatures drop overnight, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters is expected from early morning to morning, mainly in the western Gyeonggi area and inland Chungnam area, so caution is advised for traffic safety.

Sea waves will be 0.5?1.5 meters in the East Sea and South Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters. Wave heights in the open sea will be 0.5?2.0 meters in the East Sea, 0.5?1.5 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5?2.5 meters in the South Sea.
