, ‘The central region will have occasional cloudiness, and the southern regions and Jeju will be mostly cloudy on this day. There will be places in the metropolitan, Chungcheong, and Jeolla regions where dust fog (haze) forms for a while, and on roads near coastal bridges (such as Incheon Bridge, Yeongjong Bridge, Seohae Bridge), the fog is expected to become denser than the surroundings. Due to the fog, light rain could fall in these areas.’,
,
, ‘Rain may fall in the southern part of Jeonnam and Jeju in the early morning hours. The expected precipitation is △ southern Jeonnam: around 5mm, △ western coast of Gyeongnam: less than 5mm, △ Jeju: 5~20mm.’,
,
, ‘Meanwhile, the fine dust levels on this day are expected to be ‘bad’ for the metropolitan region and Chungnam, while other areas are expected to range from ‘good’ to ‘moderate’. In most parts of the central region, the daily average concentration will be high due to residual fine dust collected from the previous day and fine dust generated domestically accumulating in the atmosphere. In the morning, Gangwon Yeongseo, Sejong, and Chungbuk regions may temporarily reach ‘bad’ levels.’,
,
, ‘An official from the Korea Meteorological Administration advised, “Children, the elderly, and those with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases should refrain from outdoor activities as much as possible,” and added, “When engaging in outdoor activities, it is necessary to wear masks, protective glasses, and hats.” ‘,
