[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] On Wednesday the 23rd, due to atmospheric instability, the entire country is expected to be cloudy with showers occurring intermittently in various places.

Between last night and 6 a.m., very heavy rain of 30 to 50 mm per hour is forecast mainly in Chungbuk and the southern inland areas. Some regions may receive over 100 mm of rain, potentially leading to heavy rain warnings.

The morning low temperatures are forecast to be between 16 and 20 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 20 and 26 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels are expected to be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' across all regions.
