[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] On the 20th, the whole country will be cloudy with rain.

The rain will start at dawn in Jeju and Jeonnam and expand to the entire southern region and southern Chungcheong in the morning. In the afternoon (12 PM to 6 PM), rain will fall nationwide including the Seoul metropolitan area, with rain stopping around 3 PM in Jeju and around 9 PM in Jeonnam.

Expected precipitation amounts are 30?80 mm in Jeju (excluding northern and western parts), 10?40 mm in Gangwon Yeongdong, Gyeongbuk, Jeju, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo, and 5?30 mm in central regions (excluding Gangwon Yeongdong).

Morning low temperatures are forecasted to be 13?18°C, and daytime highs 18?26°C. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions. However, the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungnam, Daegu, and Ulsan are expected to experience temporarily 'Bad' levels in the morning.

The Air Quality Integrated Forecast Center stated, "Most central-western regions and some Yeongnam areas will have stagnant air causing domestic fine dust to accumulate, resulting in somewhat high concentrations," adding, "This will gradually improve from the afternoon."

Dense fog is expected mainly inland until morning. Winds will be very strong and waves very high from daytime until the next day across all seas around Jeju and the South Sea. Ships engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise caution.

Sea waves will be 0.5?2 m in the East Sea and West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5?2.5 m in the South Sea coastal waters. Offshore wave heights are expected to be 0.5?3.5 m in the East Sea, 0.5?3 m in the West Sea, and 1?4 m in the South Sea.
