[Asia Economy Reporter Myung-Hwan Lee] On Wednesday the 24th, the nationwide weather will be mostly cloudy as the heat subsides. As the solar term "Cheoseo," which signifies the end of the hot season, has passed, temperatures are dropping.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 23rd, the morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius. Jeju Island may experience occasional rain from dawn to morning, with expected precipitation of 5 to 30 mm.

Fine dust levels will be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to favorable atmospheric dispersion.

Strong winds and high waves are expected in the southern offshore areas of the West Sea, so vessels engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise caution. Wave heights will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea nearshore waters, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the nearshore waters of the West and South Seas.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (approximately within 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the East and West Seas, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea.
