[Tomorrow's Weather] Friday Before the Weekend... Clear Skies Nationwide but Large Temperature Differences

Fine Dust Levels from 'Good' to 'Moderate'

On Friday the 3rd, the whole country will be clear with a large temperature difference between day and night.

The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 7 and 15 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 21 and 29 degrees Celsius.

Morning temperatures will drop below 10 degrees Celsius mainly inland, such as 7 degrees in Jinju-si and Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam, and 8 degrees in Cheonan-si and Hongseong-gun, Chungnam.

Daytime temperatures will rise close to 30 degrees Celsius mainly in the central inland and Gyeongbuk inland areas, such as 29 degrees in Chuncheon-si, Gangwon, and Dongducheon-si, Gyeonggi.

Accordingly, the temperature difference between day and night will be very large, ranging from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, so care should be taken for health management.

The weather will be clear and the sunlight strong, so the midday UV index will be 'very high' in most regions nationwide except for the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon.

'Very high' means the ultraviolet rays are strong enough to cause skin burns after just a few tens of minutes of sun exposure.

Fine dust concentration will be at 'good' to 'normal' levels across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are predicted to be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea and South Sea, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea.
