[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] On Monday the 18th, the whole country is expected to be mostly cloudy. Heavy rain is expected in the southern regions.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 17th, the nationwide morning low temperature on the 18th will be between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature will be between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius. While the country will be mostly cloudy, heavy rain is forecasted for the southern regions.

Expected precipitation amounts are 50 to 150 mm in the Gyeongnam area (over 200 mm along the Gyeongnam coast), over 150 mm in the southern coast of Jeonnam and mountainous areas of Jeju Island, 20 to 80 mm in the southern Chungcheong region and Gyeongbuk area, 5 to 40 mm in the northern Chungcheong region, southern Gyeonggi, central and southern Gangwon, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo, and less than 5 mm in Seoul.

Due to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the influence of precipitation, fine dust concentrations are expected to be at 'Good' to 'Moderate' levels across all regions.

Fog with visibility less than 1 km is expected mainly in the central regions until dawn, so caution is advised for traffic safety.

Strong winds are expected along the Gyeongnam coast, Jeju Island, and the southern coast of Jeonnam. Gusts accompanied by thunder and lightning may occur in most maritime areas, so safety precautions should be taken.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the South Sea coastal waters.

Wave heights within approximately 200 km from the coastline are forecasted to be 0.5 to 3.5 meters in the East and West Seas, and 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the South Sea.
