[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] On Children's Day, the 5th, rain will fall until dawn and then gradually clear up.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) stated that due to a low-pressure system moving northeast over the West Sea, rain is falling nationwide on the 4th. With very strong southerly winds blowing until night and a large amount of moisture being brought in, Jeju Island, affected by topography, will experience heavy and intense rainfall in some areas. Most of the rain is expected to stop by dawn on the 5th.

Strong wind warnings have been issued for the coastal areas of Gyeongsang Province, the northeastern mountains of North Gyeongsang, the mountainous areas of Gangwon Province, the western coast of Chungnam, the coastal areas of Jeolla, and Jeju Island. On the night of the 4th, the strong wind warning may be extended to the eastern coast of Gangwon, and by dawn on the 5th, to the central western coast.

In these regions, winds will blow very strongly at speeds of 35 to 60 km/h (with maximum gusts exceeding 70 km/h) until the 5th, while other areas will experience strong winds at speeds of 25 to 45 km/h.

The KMA emphasized, "To prevent damage caused by strong winds, please inspect outdoor facilities such as screening clinics, construction sites, vinyl greenhouses, and traffic lights, as well as potential hazards like falling objects and signboards that may be blown away by the wind."

Airports located along the national coastline will experience very strong winds, and due to topographical effects, wind conditions around runways may change abruptly, potentially disrupting flight operations. Therefore, air travelers should check flight information in advance. Additionally, in the mountainous areas of Gangwon, strong winds may cause differences in wind speeds at tunnel entrances and exits, and elevated roads such as bridges may experience even stronger winds, so special attention to traffic safety is required.

Morning temperatures on the 5th are expected to be between 10 and 15 degrees Celsius in most regions nationwide, with daytime temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius. The expected minimum morning temperatures by region range from 8 to 16 degrees Celsius, and the maximum daytime temperatures range from 16 to 24 degrees Celsius.
