[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] On Friday the 20th, the sky will be mostly cloudy nationwide, gradually clearing up from night.

In the afternoon, less than 5mm of rain will fall in various inland areas of Jeju Island and Jeonnam region. In northeastern Gyeonggi and Yeongseo region of Gangwon, raindrops less than 0.1mm are expected.

The morning low temperature is forecast to be between 11 and 20 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 22 and 29 degrees Celsius. Fine dust concentration is expected to be at 'Good' to 'Moderate' levels across all regions.

In the mountainous areas of Gangwon, winds may blow strongly at around 55 km/h at times, so caution is advised for facility management and safety accidents.

From night, strong winds and high waves are expected in the southern offshore waters of Jeju Island and the outer eastern offshore waters of the South Sea, so ships navigating or fishing should check sailing information in advance.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the coastal waters of the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea.

Wave heights in the outer offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are forecast to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea and South Sea.
