On Sunday, the 2nd, most of the country will be mostly cloudy with rain.

The expected rainfall over two days is 30 to 80 mm on the East Coast of Gangwon, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, Jeonbuk, and the East Coast of Gyeongbuk; 20 to 80 mm in Jeju Island; and 20 to 60 mm in the Seoul metropolitan area, inland Gangwon, Chungbuk, Gwangju and Jeonnam, inland Daegu and Gyeongbuk, northeastern mountains, Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised caution for slippery roads due to ice as temperatures gradually drop mainly in the central region and Gyeongbuk, and rain will change to snow in some areas from night.

The morning low temperatures on this day are forecasted to be between 0 and 11 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperatures between 8 and 18 degrees Celsius.

Fine dust levels will be 'bad' in Seoul and Incheon, and 'good' to 'moderate' in other regions.

However, Gyeonggi, Sejong, Chungbuk, and Chungnam are expected to have 'bad' levels in the morning.

Due to residual fine dust from the previous day, concentrations will be high in the central-western region until the morning, but clean east winds will flow in from the afternoon and rain will fall, gradually lowering the concentration.
