[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] On Monday the 5th, the nation will be mostly cloudy with rain falling in various places including Jeju Island.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 4th, rain is expected to begin from daytime in Honam and Gyeongnam, and from nighttime in southern Chungcheong, Jeonbuk, and southern Gyeongbuk.

The expected rainfall from the rain that started the previous day is 50?100mm (over 150mm in some areas) in Jeju Island, 30?80mm along the Gyeongnam coast, 10?50mm in mid-northern Gangwon Yeongdong, northeastern mountainous areas of Gyeongbuk, southern coast of Jeonnam, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo, and 5?20mm in other regions.

As the stationary front (jangma front) that had moved southward moves northward, the Korea Meteorological Administration announced that rain will fall again in most parts of the country on the 6th.

The nationwide morning low temperatures will range from 19 to 23 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs will range from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Due to smooth atmospheric dispersion, fine dust concentrations will be at 'Good' to 'Moderate' levels across all regions.

There will be fog with visibility less than 1 km in some inland areas until morning.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 2 meters in the West Sea and South Sea nearshore.

Wave heights in the open sea are expected to be 1 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea, and 1 to 3 meters in the South Sea.
