Fine dust levels will be 'good' to 'moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.



Fog is expected mainly over the Yellow Sea and the South Sea, so caution is advised for maritime safety. Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the Yellow Sea and South Sea coastal waters. Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are predicted to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 4.0 meters in the Yellow Sea, and 1.5 to 4.0 meters in the South Sea.
