[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] On Friday the 19th, the whole country will generally be clear with a large temperature difference between day and night.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "Due to the influence of high pressure, the atmosphere is stable, and the temperature difference between day and night will be very large."

The clear weather will continue during the day but will become cloudy from night.

On the east coast, raindrops will fall in some areas starting at night.

Jeju Island will also begin to experience rain from night due to the influence of a low-pressure system moving northeast near Shanghai, China.

The temperature difference between day and night will be around 15 degrees Celsius, so caution is advised for health management against immune system decline caused by rapid temperature changes during the changing seasons.

The morning low temperatures by region are forecasted as follows: △Seoul 8°C △Chuncheon 5°C △Gangneung 7°C △Daejeon 7°C △Cheongju 7°C △Daegu 7°C △Gwangju 7°C △Jeonju 7°C △Busan 9°C △Jeju 13°C.

The daytime high temperatures will be △Seoul 19°C △Chuncheon 18°C △Gangneung 14°C △Daejeon 19°C △Cheongju 18°C △Daegu 16°C △Gwangju 20°C △Jeonju 20°C △Busan 16°C △Jeju 16°C.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'bad' in Seoul, southern Gyeonggi, Yeongdong region of Gangwon, Sejong, Chungnam, Daegu, and Gyeongbuk areas, while other regions will be at 'normal' levels.

The Korea Meteorological Administration urged, "On this day, high waves caused by swell may exceed the rocky shores along the east coast of the Gyeongsang region, so please be especially careful about safety accidents along the coast."
