Most of Korea will be cloudy on Wednesday, with scattered rain in some areas. Fine dust concentrations will be high due to yellow dust, requiring masks for outdoor activities.
Rain is forecast for Jeju Island in the morning, the South Jeolla region in the afternoon, and the South Gyeongsang region from the evening. The Chungcheong region and the southern part of the North Gyeongsang region may see less than 0.1 millimeters of rain between late dawn and afternoon.
Expected rainfall over the two days through Thursday is 30 to 80 millimeters in Jeju Island (excluding the north), 10 to 40 millimeters in northern Jeju, 5 to 20 millimeters in Gwangju, South Jeolla, Busan and the southern coast of South Gyeongsang, and less than 5 millimeters in Ulsan and inland South Gyeongsang.
Morning lows will range from 6 to 14 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs from 17 to 21 degrees Celsius. Fine dust concentrations will be at "bad" levels nationwide, as yellow dust originating from the Gobi Desert and the Inner Mongolian Plateau remains in the atmosphere.
Waves will reach 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the near seas of the East Sea and South Sea, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the near seas of the West Sea. In the inner far seas (within about 200 kilometers of the coastline), wave heights are expected to reach 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the East and West Seas, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea.
