[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] On Wednesday the 8th, the sky will be occasionally cloudy nationwide, with showers expected in the afternoon due to atmospheric instability in the Gangwon Yeongseo and Gyeongsang inland regions. The expected precipitation is 5 to 20 mm.

The morning low temperature is forecast to be between 19 and 23 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 24 and 32 degrees Celsius, similar to the previous day.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "Until the 9th, many inland areas will see daytime temperatures rising above 30 degrees Celsius, making it hot."

Fine dust levels are expected to be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' across all regions.

Dense fog with visibility below 200 meters is expected on the morning of the day along the Chungnam West Coast, Jeonnam West Coast, Gyeongnam Coast, Gangwon Mountain areas, and Jeonbuk inland, so caution is advised for commuting traffic safety.

Fog will cover most seas, and in the southern offshore areas of Jeju Island, gusts of wind accompanied by thunder and lightning are expected until the 9th.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1 meter in the East Sea and South Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters. Offshore wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2 meters in the West Sea, and 1 to 2 meters in the South Sea.
