The sky is expected to remain mostly cloudy. Temperatures are forecasted to be similar to or slightly higher than the seasonal average (morning lows of 10 to 14 degrees Celsius, daytime highs of 21 to 24 degrees Celsius), but daytime highs are likely to be slightly lower than average due to the rain. Tomorrow morning's low will range from 12 to 15 degrees Celsius, while the daytime high will range from 18 to 21 degrees Celsius.


Fog and strong winds are forecasted at sea. Sea fog is expected in some areas of the southern West Sea and western South Sea, and visibility may drop below 200 meters in some island regions, so extra caution is advised for maritime traffic safety.
