[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Monday the 10th, the entire country will be cloudy with rain.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that rain will fall in most areas nationwide except for the northeastern part of Gyeonggi Province and the northern part of Gangwon Province in the morning. Rain will stop overnight in the Seoul metropolitan area and southern Gangwon, while some areas in the Chungcheong and Gyeongbuk regions will continue to experience rain until the morning of the 11th. In the Jeolla region and inland Gyeongnam, rain will fall until the morning and then again from night until the morning of the 11th in some places.

Expected precipitation amounts until the morning of the 11th are ▲ 20-60mm in southern Gyeonggi, southwestern Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungcheong region, and northern Gyeongbuk ▲ 5-20mm in the Seoul metropolitan area, southeastern Gangwon Yeongdong, Jeonbuk region, the five western islands, and Jeju ▲ less than 5mm in the Jeonnam region and inland Gyeongnam.

On the 10th, the country will be mostly cloudy, with the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province gradually clearing from night. The daytime high temperature will range from 14 to 24 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between day and night will be over 15 degrees in the central inland and Gyeongbuk inland areas. The morning temperature on the 11th is expected to be between 7 and 15 degrees Celsius.

Due to precipitation, fine dust levels will be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' across all regions.

In Gangwon Yeongdong, parts of Gyeongsang region, and eastern Jeonnam, where dry weather warnings are in effect, the atmosphere will be very dry. Strong winds may cause small sparks to develop into large fires, so caution is advised to prevent forest fires and other types of fire accidents.

Until tomorrow, dense fog may form in the southern Yellow Sea, the southern sea, and the waters around Jeju Island. Thunder and lightning are expected in the Yellow Sea on the 10th, so maritime safety accidents should be carefully avoided.
