[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] On Friday the 8th, the feeling of spring will become more apparent. Due to the influence of a high-pressure system moving eastward over the West Sea, the entire country will experience clear weather.

The morning low temperatures will range from 1 to 10 degrees Celsius, similar to the average (2 to 9 degrees), and the daytime high temperatures will be between 16 and 24 degrees Celsius, higher than the average (15 to 19 degrees). △Seoul (6°C·20°C), △Incheon (6°C·16°C), △Daejeon (4°C·22°C), △Gwangju (6°C·24°C), △Daegu (6°C·23°C), △Ulsan (7°C·20°C), △Busan (10°C·18°C), etc. Temperatures are expected to rise further over the weekend, reaching mid-May levels.

The atmosphere will become drier as temperatures rise and humidity decreases. Currently, dry weather advisories are in effect across many parts of the country, especially in the eastern regions. Gangwon and Gyeongbuk, which suffered significant damage from wildfires last month, have dry weather advisories issued for the entire area. Seoul also has a dry weather advisory in effect throughout the city.

Dry weather advisories are issued when the effective humidity, which quantifies the dryness of trees and vegetation, is expected to remain below 35% for more than two days. An effective humidity below 50% is considered a condition prone to large fires.

Strong winds are expected in the mountainous areas of Gangwon and the northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk. The strong winds in the Gangwon mountains will have gusts reaching 90 km/h (25 m/s) or more, and winds around 70 km/h (20 m/s) are expected in the northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk and the eastern coast of Gangwon.

Strong wind advisories are currently in effect for Taebaek, Jeongseon plains, northern, central, and southern mountainous areas of Gangwon. Strong wind preliminary warnings have been issued for the plains of Gangneung, Donghae, Samcheok, Sokcho, Goseong, and Yangyang. The strong wind preliminary warnings have also been issued for the plains and northeastern mountains of Uljin in Gyeongbuk, as well as Ulleungdo and Dokdo.
