[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] On Wednesday the 14th, the whole country will be mostly clear, but temperatures will drop sharply, making it chilly.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "Morning temperatures nationwide will drop sharply by about 10 degrees, with most areas falling below 5 degrees."

According to the KMA, strong winds are expected on this day, which will make the perceived temperature feel even lower.

The temperature difference between day and night will be around 15 degrees.

The morning low temperatures by region are forecasted as follows: △Seoul 3°C △Chuncheon 1°C △Gangneung 15°C △Daejeon 4°C △Cheongju 4°C △Daegu 6°C △Gwangju 5°C △Jeonju 4°C △Busan 7°C △Jeju 9°C.

The daytime high temperatures will be △Seoul 14°C △Chuncheon 16°C △Gangneung 17°C △Daejeon 17°C △Cheongju 16°C △Daegu 17°C △Gwangju 16°C △Jeonju 16°C △Busan 18°C △Jeju 14°C.

Fine dust levels are expected to be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' nationwide.

The KMA urged, "Since this is the period when pollination occurs after flowering (the transfer of pollen from stamens to the stigma in seed plants), thorough precautions such as operating fine mist sprinklers, windbreak fans, and covering with thermal blankets are necessary to prevent damage to crops from low temperatures."
