[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] On Saturday the 12th, there will be occasional clouds nationwide, and Jeju Island will be mostly cloudy.

The morning low temperature is forecast to be between -5 and 4 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 7 and 14 degrees Celsius. The Korea Meteorological Administration expects temperatures to remain warmer than average until the 13th, resulting in mild weather.

Fine dust levels will be 'bad' across all regions. The Seoul metropolitan area will experience temporarily 'very bad' levels in the morning. Dense fog is expected in areas centered around Incheon and southern Gyeonggi Province. On the east coast, strong waves caused by swell will hit the sandy beaches, so caution is advised to prevent safety accidents.

Sea waves are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore. Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are predicted to be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West and South Seas.
