[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Monday the 30th, the whole country will be mostly cloudy, with rain expected in the afternoon mainly in the central regions.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that due to the influence of a pressure trough passing through the north, rain will fall temporarily in the central regions and eastern Jeonbuk in the afternoon. In Yeongseo, Gangwon Province, there will be rain until evening, and thunder and lightning are expected between the afternoon and evening.

As of 7 a.m., rain has stopped in Seoul and Incheon, but light raindrops are falling mainly in eastern Gyeonggi Province. In the metropolitan area, light raindrops will sporadically fall during the morning commute, with more substantial rain starting from midday and expanding to most areas of the metropolitan area by late afternoon.

Rainfall of around 5mm is expected in eastern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, while less than 5mm of rain is expected in Seoul, Incheon, western Gyeonggi, Chungcheong region, southern regions, the five western islands, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo. On the east coast of Gangwon, raindrops less than 0.1mm will fall. The metropolitan area, Chungnam region, and Jeonnam region are forecasted to clear up from night.

The highest daytime temperatures on the 30th will range from 21 to 26 degrees Celsius, which is lower than the average (22 to 27 degrees). Daejeon and Daegu will reach 26 degrees, Seoul, Chuncheon, Cheongju, Pohang, and Changwon 25 degrees, Suwon, Ulsan, Gwangju, Yeosu, and Jeju 24 degrees, Jeonju and Busan 23 degrees, and Incheon and Mokpo 22 degrees.

The air will be very dry mainly in the central and southern east coast of Gangwon and the southern Gyeongbuk region, where dry weather warnings are in effect, but these warnings may be lifted as rain falls.

Until 9 a.m., fog reducing visibility to less than 1 km is expected along the west coast and southern coast of Jeonnam. Until the afternoon, dense sea fog is expected in the West Sea, South Sea, and Jeju sea areas, so caution is advised to prevent maritime accidents.
