[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] On the first day of April, which is also a Friday, the central region will have occasional clouds, while the southern region and Jeju Island will be mostly cloudy.

The morning low temperature is forecasted to be between -2 and 7 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 10 and 16 degrees Celsius. Cold winds blowing from the north will cause morning temperatures to drop 5 to 9 degrees lower than the previous day (5 to 13 degrees). Winds will also blow somewhat strongly, making the perceived temperature even lower and the weather chilly.

Frost will form and ice will freeze mainly in the inland areas of the central region, northern inland areas of Gyeongbuk, and eastern parts of Jeonbuk, so caution is needed to prevent cold damage to crops. Jeju Island is expected to receive less than 5mm of rain in the early morning, and from late afternoon through the night, scattered raindrops will fall in various inland areas of southeastern Jeonbuk and Jeonnam.

With the atmosphere dispersing smoothly, fine dust concentrations will be at 'Good' to 'Moderate' levels across all regions. Fog with visibility less than 1 km will form mainly in inland areas until morning, so traffic safety should be observed carefully.

Winds will blow strongly with maximum instantaneous speeds exceeding 15 m/s, especially along the west coast, coastal areas of Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island, so attention should be paid to facility management and accident prevention.

Strong winds and high waves are expected mainly in the southern offshore areas of the southern West Sea, southern offshore areas of the southern East Sea, and offshore areas around Jeju Island, so ships engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise caution.

Wave heights will range from 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore waters, and from 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the nearshore waters of the West Sea and South Sea. In the inner offshore waters (offshore areas within approximately 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 1.0 to 3.0 meters in the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea.
