[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] On Sunday the 21st, the entire country will be cloudy with many clouds.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "Due to the influence of a high-pressure system moving southward from northern China, cold air from the northwest is descending, causing temperatures to drop further."

Strong winds are expected along the west coast, the mountainous areas of Gangwon, the northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk, the Sobaek mountain range, and Jeju Island.

By 6 a.m., about 1mm of rain is expected in eastern Gyeonggi, Yeongseo in Gangwon, Chungbuk, eastern Jeolla, and Jeju.

The morning low temperatures by region are forecasted as follows: △Seoul 5°C △Chuncheon 4°C △Gangneung 8°C △Daejeon 4°C △Cheongju 6°C △Daegu 7°C △Gwangju 5°C △Jeonju 5°C △Busan 9°C △Jeju 8°C.
