[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Thursday the 9th, rain is expected mainly in the metropolitan area and central inland regions until the evening.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that due to a trough of low pressure, there will be rain in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and northern Chungcheongbuk-do until the morning. From noon to evening, showers with up to 40mm of rainfall are expected in the inland Chungcheong region, eastern inland Jeonbuk, and northern inland Gyeongbuk, while the metropolitan area and inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon will see showers of about 5 to 20mm.

The KMA explained, "Due to atmospheric instability until the 9th and the influence of a northern trough from dawn to evening, showers accompanied by thunder and lightning will occur, with significant rainfall differences between nearby areas."

As the stagnant pressure system remains and cold, dry air flows into the Korean Peninsula from the northwest, the atmosphere becomes unstable, and localized precipitation is expected to occur frequently for the time being.

The whole country will be mostly cloudy on this day, with daytime highs ranging from 19 to 27 degrees Celsius. Due to the influence of easterly winds, daytime temperatures will be around 20 degrees Celsius in the Yeongdong area of Gangwon and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk. Seoul and Jeju will reach 25 degrees, Daejeon, Cheongju, and Andong 26 degrees, Daegu, Gwangju, and Jeonju 27 degrees, and Busan 23 degrees.

From the 13th to the 15th, rain is expected mainly in Jeju, Jeonnam, and the Gyeongsang region due to the influence of a southern trough. On the 15th, precipitation caused by easterly winds is expected, mainly along the East Coast.

High waves caused by swell will strongly hit the sandy beaches or overflow rocks and breakwaters along the eastern coast of Gangwon and the coastal areas of Gyeongsang.
