[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Wednesday the 8th, the whole country will be mostly cloudy with showers in some areas.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) forecasts that the nation will be mostly cloudy with unstable atmospheric conditions, causing showers of about 5 to 40mm from daytime to nighttime in eastern Gyeonggi, western Gangwon, inland Chungcheong, inland Jeonbuk, northeastern Jeonnam, and southwestern inland Gyeongbuk. There will be less than 5mm of rain in the Jeolla region until morning, and raindrops will fall in Jeju Island and the Gyeongnam region.

The KMA explained, "Since the rain clouds develop in narrow areas, the intensity and amount of precipitation will vary greatly between regions, and many places will experience breaks in rainfall, so please refer to weather information."

From dawn to evening on the 9th, under the influence of a trough, about 5 to 40mm of rain will fall in the Seoul metropolitan area and inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon. Showers of about 5 to 40mm are also forecast for inland Chungcheong, inland Jeonbuk, and northern inland Gyeongbuk.

Temperatures will be similar to the average (morning 14?18°C, daytime 22?28°C), but due to easterly winds, daytime temperatures will remain around 20°C until the 9th in eastern Gangwon and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk.

As of 7 a.m. on this day, temperatures in major areas are Seoul 16.9°C, Incheon 18.3°C, Suwon 18.4°C, Chuncheon 14.2°C, Gangneung 13.8°C, Cheongju 16.7°C, Daejeon 7.8°C, Jeonju 17.2°C, Gwangju 16.5°C, Jeju 19.3°C, Daegu 15.6°C, Busan 15.9°C, Ulsan 14.9°C, Changwon 15.4°C.

The highest daytime temperature on the 8th will be 19?26°C. Seoul and Suwon will reach 26°C, Incheon, Daegu, Changwon, and Jeju 23°C, and Gangneung, Pohang, and Ulsan around 20°C. Fine dust levels will be 'Good' across all regions due to favorable atmospheric dispersion.

On the eastern coast of Gangwon and the Gyeongsang coastal areas, high waves caused by swell will strongly push onto sandy beaches or overflow rocky shores and breakwaters.

In the East Sea, where a strong wind warning is in effect, winds will blow very strongly at 9?16 m/s until the afternoon, and waves will be very high at 1.5?4.0 meters, so vessels engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise caution.
