[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] On Saturday the 21st, heavy rain is expected in many parts of the country.


The expected rainfall is 30 to 100 mm nationwide. In particular, some areas are forecast to receive heavy rain, including over 200 mm in the mountainous and southern regions of Jeju Island, over 150 mm in the southern coast of Gyeongnam and near Jirisan, and over 120 mm in the central region and southern coast of Jeonnam.


Rain will fall in most areas nationwide until the morning and will gradually stop from night.


The morning low temperature is forecast to be between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 25 and 29 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'good' across all regions.


Strong winds are expected along the west coast and in the mountainous areas of Jeju Island, with the possibility of a strong wind advisory being issued. Gusts accompanied by thunder and lightning are expected in most offshore areas, so caution is advised for maritime safety accidents.



Sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea and South Sea coastal waters, and 1.5 to 3.0 meters in the West Sea coastal waters. Offshore wave heights are forecast to be 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the East Sea and South Sea, and 1.5 to 4.0 meters in the West Sea.
