[Asia Economy Reporter Kwak Min-jae] On Friday the 29th, the whole country will be mostly cloudy with rain. The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that the rain will fall from dawn to morning and then gradually stop.


Gangwon Yeongseo, the eastern part of Gyeongsang Province, and Jeju Island will have rain until the morning, while Gangwon Yeongdong and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk will have occasional rain until the evening.


Expected precipitation amounts are 10-40mm for Jeju Island, 5-20mm for Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi, and around 5mm for other regions. In the high mountains of Gangwon, snow accumulation of about 1-3cm is expected in some areas.


The morning low temperatures on the 29th will range from 8 to 13 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperatures will range from 12 to 21 degrees Celsius. By region, Seoul will be 19 degrees, Daejeon 18 degrees, Gwangju 22 degrees, and Daegu and Busan 16 degrees.


Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to favorable atmospheric dispersion.


Due to the influence of easterly winds, dense fog with visibility less than 200 meters may occur in the mountainous areas of Gangwon, so caution is advised for traffic safety.


In the coastal areas of Gyeongsang Province and Jeju Island, there will be strong winds with maximum instantaneous wind speeds exceeding 15 meters per second in some places.



From the 29th, very strong winds and waves of 2 to 4 meters high will occur in the East Sea, South Sea, and Jeju Strait, raising the possibility of a storm warning being issued.
