[Tomorrow's Weather] Nationwide 'Clear' Saturday... Daytime High Around 25°C

Saturday, the 27th, is expected to be mostly clear nationwide. Jeju Island is forecasted to have many clouds in the early morning.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 26th, the morning low temperatures on the 27th will range from 9 to 16 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs will be between 21 and 30 degrees Celsius, resulting in a large temperature difference between day and night.

The expected low and high temperatures for major cities are: Seoul 12°C and 26°C, Incheon 11°C and 21°C, Daejeon 11°C and 27°C, Gwangju 13°C and 28°C, Daegu 13°C and 30°C, Ulsan 12°C and 26°C, and Busan 14°C and 24°C.

The reason daytime temperatures rise high over the weekend as if summer has arrived is due to clear skies allowing strong sunlight to shine down. Because of the intense sunlight, the nationwide ultraviolet (UV) index during the weekend daytime will range from 'high' to 'very high.'

Fine dust levels are expected to be between 'good' and 'moderate' across all regions. However, the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungnam may temporarily experience 'unhealthy' levels in the morning.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the East Sea and South Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters. In the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea.
