According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the expected precipitation is around 5 mm for Seoul, inland Gyeonggi, and Gangwon Province; 5 to 10 mm for Incheon and the west coast of Gyeonggi Province; 5 to 20 mm for Jeju Island; and 5 to 30 mm for the five West Sea Islands.


The morning low temperatures are forecast to be between 5 and 13 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between day and night will be significant, ranging from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius, especially in inland areas, so extra care should be taken for health management.


Fine dust concentrations are expected to remain at 'good' to 'moderate' levels nationwide. However, southern Gyeonggi Province and Sejong are expected to experience temporarily 'bad' levels in the morning.
