[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Tuesday the 12th, the entire country will be cloudy, with rain expected mainly in the central regions from late afternoon.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) announced that from the morning, drizzle or raindrops will fall in Seoul, the western coast of Gyeonggi Province, northern Gyeonggi, northern Chungcheongnam-do, and the West Sea island areas. Due to sea fog flowing in, raindrops will fall in places along the western coast of Gyeonggi, the western coast of northern Chungcheongnam-do, the Seoul metropolitan area including Seoul, and the western coast caused by low clouds.

Until the morning, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters will form mainly along the western and southern coasts and Jeju Island, so caution is required for traffic safety. Drivers should reduce speed on bridges and roads adjacent to the western coast, as well as near rivers and lakes.

Between 3 PM and 6 PM, rain will begin in northern Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon due to the influence of a pressure trough approaching from the northwest, expanding from night to include the Seoul metropolitan area, southern Gangwon, and the western coast of northern Chungcheongnam-do.

Expected precipitation until the afternoon of the 14th is 5 to 30 mm in southern Gyeonggi, Gangwon Province (excluding northern Yeongseo), northern Chungcheongbuk-do, and Jeju Island (from the afternoon of the 13th). Seoul, Incheon, northern Gyeonggi, northern Yeongseo in Gangwon, southern Chungcheong, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk (excluding southern inland areas) will receive about 5 to 10 mm of rain.

On the 13th, rain will fall in southern Gyeonggi, southern Gangwon, and the Chungcheong region. Seoul, Incheon, northern Gyeonggi, and northern Gangwon will experience rain during the early morning and night of the 13th.

In the southern regions, raindrops will occasionally fall between early morning and morning on the 13th. Northern Gyeongbuk will see rain in the morning, while other southern regions and Jeju Island will have rain starting from daytime.

The KMA advised, "Thunder and lightning may occur in areas with rain until the 13th, so attention should be paid to facility management," and added, "The timing and areas of rainfall on the 13th and 14th may change depending on fluctuations in the surrounding pressure systems of our country, so please refer to weather information."

Until the morning of the 13th, temperatures will be 5 to 10 degrees higher than average, reminiscent of early summer weather. As of 7 AM, Seoul recorded 17.8°C, Incheon 15.9°C, Gangneung 19.5°C, and Pohang 18.4°C. The expected daytime high temperatures range from 17 to 31 degrees Celsius.

After the rain, cold air will move southward, causing temperatures in the central regions and Gyeongsang area to be similar to or slightly lower than average. Especially in eastern Gangwon, mountainous areas, and eastern Gyeongbuk, daytime highs will drop significantly to around 15 degrees between today and tomorrow. On the 13th, morning lows will be 8 to 17 degrees, and daytime highs will be 10 to 24 degrees Celsius.
