[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] On Monday the 8th, strong rain accompanied by wind, thunder, and lightning will fall nationwide, causing temperatures to drop sharply.

The rain will start in the western regions at dawn, then expand to other areas before gradually stopping from the afternoon.

Expected precipitation amounts are up to 60mm or more near the mountainous areas of Jeju and Jirisan, and 10 to 40mm across the rest of the country. Around 1cm of snow is forecasted in the mountainous areas of Gangwon.

Morning low temperatures will range from 7 to 17 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs will be between 8 and 19 degrees Celsius nationwide, with Seoul at 11 degrees, Daejeon at 13 degrees, and Daegu at 16 degrees.

Temperatures will drop by about 3 to 8 degrees compared to today, and with the wind, the perceived temperature will feel even colder, so caution is advised for health management.

Fine dust levels will be 'Good' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the effects of precipitation.

Sea waves will be 1.5 to 4.0 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 1.0 to 3.0 meters in the South Sea coastal waters.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 2.0 to 6.0 meters in the East Sea, 2.0 to 5.0 meters in the West Sea, and 2.0 to 5.0 meters in the South Sea.
