[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] On Saturday the 4th, the whole country will be clear, but strong winds will blow in various places, so special attention should be paid to preventing various fires.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, under the influence of a high-pressure system moving southeast from northern China, the whole country will be mostly clear, but clouds will increase from the afternoon in southern Gangwon and northern Gyeongbuk.

In particular, on the west coast, Gangwon Yeongdong, northeastern Gyeongbuk, and the Gyeongbuk east coast, winds will blow very strongly at speeds of 35 to 65 km/h (10 to 16 m/s). Relatively strong winds are also expected in most other regions nationwide.

The morning low temperatures are expected to be △Seoul 7°C △Daejeon 6°C △Daegu 6°C △Busan 9°C △Jeonju 5°C △Gwangju 5°C △Chuncheon 4°C △Gangneung 10°C △Jeju 9°C △Ulleungdo and Dokdo 5°C.

The daytime high temperatures are expected to be △Seoul 12°C △Daejeon 16°C △Daegu 20°C △Busan 20°C △Jeonju 16°C △Gwangju 17°C △Chuncheon 15°C △Gangneung 13°C △Jeju 16°C △Ulleungdo and Dokdo 8°C.

According to the National Institute of Environmental Research, fine dust from abroad will be inflowing at dawn, causing fine dust concentrations in the morning to reach a temporarily 'bad' level in the metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, and the Chungcheong region. However, from the afternoon, due to smooth atmospheric dispersion, the air quality is expected to become generally clean.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "There will be places with strong winds on the coast and Jeju area, and some places inland will also experience somewhat strong winds," and urged, "Please pay special attention to the management of facilities such as tents and signboards installed outdoors like screening clinics, and to safety accidents."
