[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] On Tuesday the 21st, showers accompanied by gusts of wind, thunder, and lightning, with rainfall amounts of 5 to 30 mm, are forecast to occur from the eastern part of Jeolla, the southwestern inland of Gyeongbuk, and the western inland of Gyeongnam starting in the afternoon.


Most regions nationwide will be mostly cloudy, with morning low temperatures ranging from 19 to 24 degrees Celsius and daytime highs between 26 and 35 degrees Celsius. In some central areas, Jeonnam region, and Gyeongsang region where heatwave warnings have been issued, the highest perceived temperature during the day will rise above 33 degrees Celsius (above 35 degrees Celsius in some inland areas of Gyeongbuk), making it very hot. Fine dust levels are expected to be from 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.



Strong winds and high waves are expected in the southern offshore waters of Jeju Island and the outer eastern offshore waters of the South Sea, so vessels engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise special caution. Wave heights in the nearshore waters are forecast to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea. In the outer offshore waters (approximately within 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are predicted to be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea.
