[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Thursday the 13th, the whole country will be clear with daytime highs reaching up to 30 degrees Celsius. The summer-like heat will continue until tomorrow.

On the 13th, the Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that the entire country will be mostly clear, and temperatures will rise due to sunlight, with daytime temperatures nationwide exceeding 25 degrees Celsius, 4 to 7 degrees higher than average. In the inland areas of the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong region, Jeolla region, and western inland Gyeongbuk, temperatures will rise to around 30 degrees Celsius.

The expected daytime highs are 29 degrees in Seoul, Daegu, Chuncheon, Cheongju, and Jeonju; 30 degrees in Daejeon and Gwangju; and 23 degrees in Busan, Yeosu, and Jeju. Tomorrow morning temperatures will be around 15 degrees Celsius, with a temperature difference of more than 15 degrees Celsius mainly in inland areas, so caution is advised for health management such as preventing weakened immunity.

As temperatures rise, the atmosphere will become unstable, and in the central and southern mountainous areas of Gangwon where airflows converge, showers of around 5mm are expected in the afternoon.

From the night of the 13th to the morning of the 14th, many inland areas will experience fog with visibility less than 1 km. In areas adjacent to rivers or lakes, the fog will thicken, causing sudden reductions in visibility, so caution is needed to prevent collision accidents while driving.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore. Wave heights in the open sea are expected to be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East and South Seas, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea.
