[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] On Wednesday the 16th, most regions nationwide are expected to record temperatures higher than the average for this time of year.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 15th, the morning low temperatures on the 16th will range between -2°C and 9°C, similar to or slightly higher than the average (-3°C to 5°C). The expected low and high temperatures are Seoul 3°C and 16°C, Incheon 4°C and 12°C, Daejeon 3°C and 19°C, Gwangju and Daegu 5°C and 22°C, Ulsan 6°C and 21°C, and Busan 9°C and 19°C.

In particular, areas in Gyeongnam such as Yangsan, Hapcheon, Miryang, Uiryeong, Haman, and Changnyeong are expected to see daytime highs rise up to 24°C.

From the night of the 15th to the morning of the 16th, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters is expected mainly along the west coast.

Some regions will experience haze during the day (a phenomenon where smoke, dust, and fine particles suspended in the atmosphere appear hazy when humidity is relatively low).

This is due to a high concentration of dust in the atmosphere, and fine dust levels in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungnam, and Jeonbuk are expected to be 'bad' on the 16th. Other regions will have 'moderate' levels, but Sejong, Chungbuk, and Daegu are forecasted to have 'bad' levels temporarily in the morning.

Cloud cover is expected to increase from the night.

Strong winds are expected in the mountainous areas of Gangwon Province until the afternoon, and along the Gangwon East Coast during the day.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea coastal waters.

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.
