[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Wednesday, the 3rd, the entire country will be clear but will become cloudy from the evening. Rain accompanied by thunder and lightning will fall from night in the Seoul metropolitan area and the western coast of Chungnam.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) forecasted that the country will be mostly clear, with cloudy skies and rain in Gangwon Yeongdong, northern Gangwon Yeongseo, and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk until morning due to the influence of easterly winds.

Due to the pressure trough passing through the north, rain will begin in Incheon, northern Gyeonggi, and the northern western coast of Chungnam from the evening of the 3rd. From night, rain will expand to other parts of the Seoul metropolitan area, northern Gangwon Yeongseo, and the inland northern Chungnam, mostly stopping by dawn on the 4th.

Expected precipitation amounts are approximately 5mm in the Seoul metropolitan area, western coast of Chungnam, inland northern Chungnam, and Ulleungdo and Dokdo, and about 1mm in northern Gangwon Yeongseo.

The KMA advised, "There may be thunder and lightning in the Seoul metropolitan area from night until early morning tomorrow, so caution is needed for safety accidents and facility management."

Most regions nationwide will have a morning low temperature around 5 degrees Celsius and daytime temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius, resulting in a large temperature difference between day and night. As of 7 a.m., temperatures are 7.7°C in Seoul, 8.2°C in Incheon, 5.9°C in Suwon, 5.5°C in Daejeon, 6.5°C in Daegu, 6.6°C in Gwangju, 6.1°C in Jeonju, 9.4°C in Changwon, and 11.0°C in Busan. The highest daytime temperature will range from 16 to 21 degrees Celsius.

Frost will occur mainly in Gangwon Yeongseo, inland Chungcheong, inland Jeonbuk, and inland Gyeongsang tomorrow and the day after, especially in Gangwon Yeongseo and inland Gyeongsang. In the Gangwon mountain area and eastern Jeonbuk, ice formation is expected, so precautions should be taken against cold damage to crops.

Fine dust levels will be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' across all regions. Chungbuk and Daegu will experience temporarily 'Unhealthy' levels in the morning, and southern Gyeonggi and Chungcheong areas will see a temporary rise to 'Unhealthy' levels at night.

Until 10 a.m. today, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters is expected mainly inland. Airports located inland may experience flight disruptions due to dense fog, so it is necessary to check flight information in advance.

Between the night of the 3rd and the morning of the 4th, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters will occur mainly in the southern inland areas, and in other regions, fog with visibility below 1 km is expected.
