[Today's Weather] Hazy Sky Due to Fine Dust Persists... Rain Expected in Seoul Metropolitan Area and Gangwon Yeongseo from Night

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] On Monday the 15th, the sky will be mostly cloudy nationwide and will gradually become overcast from night.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "The morning low temperatures will range from 1 to 7 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs will be between 13 and 18 degrees Celsius. It will be mild during the day, but since the temperature difference between day and night in inland areas will exceed 15 degrees, caution is needed for health management."

In the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Yeongseo region, rain will begin between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. due to the influence of a pressure trough approaching from the north.

Also, due to the influence of high pressure causing stagnant air, dense haze will form in some areas nationwide. Dense fog with visibility of 200 meters is expected along the west coast and central inland areas until the morning, so caution is advised.

Along the East Coast, the southern coast of Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island, high waves caused by swell will occur. Wave heights will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 1 meter in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 1 meter in the South Sea coastal waters.

Morning low temperatures by region are expected to be △Seoul 4°C △Chuncheon 2°C △Gangneung 6°C △Daejeon 3°C △Cheongju 4°C △Daegu 5°C △Gwangju 3°C △Jeonju 4°C △Busan 7°C △Jeju 9°C.

Daytime high temperatures are forecasted as △Seoul 16°C △Chuncheon 15°C △Gangneung 18°C △Daejeon 17°C △Cheongju 17°C △Daegu 18°C △Gwangju 18°C △Jeonju 18°C △Busan 17°C △Jeju 18°C.

Fine dust levels will be 'bad' in the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon region, Chungcheong region, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Busan, Daegu, Ulsan, and Gyeongbuk, while other regions will experience 'moderate' levels. However, the Seoul metropolitan area is expected to temporarily reach 'very bad' levels in the morning, so caution is advised.

The Korea Meteorological Administration urged, "Since the temperature difference between day and night will be around 15 degrees mainly in inland areas, please take special care of your health to prevent immune system decline caused by sudden temperature changes."
