[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Thursday the 16th, light rain will fall during the morning commute in the Seoul metropolitan area. There is also rain expected until the morning in the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that the whole country will be mostly cloudy, with light rain of about 1mm per hour expected until 9 a.m., mainly in Seoul, Incheon, and inland Gyeonggi (including Gwacheon, Hanam, Gwangmyeong, Yangpyeong, etc.). As the low-pressure system moving toward the East Sea slowly moves away, some areas may experience less than 5mm of rain until 9 a.m.

Due to the influence of the low-pressure system moving toward the East Sea until 9 a.m., some places in eastern Gyeonggi, central and southern Gangwon East Coast, northern Chungbuk, and northern inland Gyeongbuk will see raindrops less than 0.1mm. Rain less than 5mm is expected in the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon and the northern East Coast of Gangwon until the morning.

Temperatures are expected to be similar to the average (minimum temperature 15~19°C, maximum temperature 23~29°C), with daytime highs forecasted between 23 and 29 degrees Celsius. As of 7 a.m., temperatures are 17.8°C in Seoul, 17.1°C in Incheon, 19.1°C in Daejeon, 14.9°C in Gangneung, 18.6°C in Daegu, 20.4°C in Busan, 19.9°C in Gwangju, and 20.0°C in Jeju.

Daytime high temperatures are expected to be 26°C in Seoul, 23°C in Incheon, 26°C in Gangneung, 27°C in Daejeon, 29°C in Daegu, 26°C in Busan, 27°C in Jeonju, and 27°C in Jeju.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion. Until the morning, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters may occur mainly in the inland Gyeongsang region and Jeonnam, and fog with visibility below 1 km may occur in the southern inland Gangwon and eastern Jeonbuk, so caution is advised for traffic safety.

For the time being, dense sea fog is expected in the West Sea, South Sea, and Jeju coastal waters. Wave heights are 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the South Sea coastal waters.
