[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] On Tuesday the 31st, the entire country is expected to be mostly clear with dry air.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, due to surface cooling, morning temperatures will drop, and daytime temperatures will rise under sunlight, resulting in a temperature difference of more than 10 degrees between day and night, and over 15 degrees in some inland areas. Therefore, caution is advised for health during the changing seasons.

The morning low temperatures are expected to be △Seoul 6°C △Daejeon 5°C △Daegu 6°C △Busan 9°C △Jeonju 5°C △Gwangju 7°C △Chuncheon 3°C △Gangneung 6°C △Jeju 11°C △Ulleungdo·Dokdo 7°C.

The daytime high temperatures are forecasted to be △Seoul 18°C △Daejeon 20°C △Daegu 19°C △Busan 17°C △Jeonju 19°C △Gwangju 20°C △Chuncheon 20°C △Gangneung 18°C △Jeju 16°C △Ulleungdo·Dokdo 14°C.

According to the National Institute of Environmental Research, fine dust levels will be at a 'normal' level across all regions. However, due to stagnant air, domestic fine dust is expected to accumulate, causing higher concentrations in most midwestern areas during the morning.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "With dry weather warnings issued for Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Yeongseo, and inland Chungcheong, the air will be very dry, and dryness will gradually increase in other regions as well. Please be especially careful to prevent various fires such as forest fires."
