"Bring an Umbrella" Rain Expected Across Most of the Country on Saturday... to Ease Late at Night

[Financial News] Rain is expected across the country on Saturday, the 14th, with generally cloudy skies.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), the rain is due to a trough moving eastward from near China's Shandong Peninsula. Expected rainfall is 5–10 mm in Seoul, Incheon and Gangwon Province, and 5–20 mm in southern Gyeonggi Province. Between 5 and 30 mm is expected in the Chungcheong and Jeolla regions, Busan, Ulsan and South Gyeongsang Province, and Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do. On Jeju Island, rain is forecast to continue through Sunday morning, with up to 50 mm expected.
Daytime highs will range from 11 to 18°C, similar to the seasonal average. Seoul and Incheon are expected to reach 14°C, while Jeju City and Seogwipo City in the south are forecast to reach 21°C. Tomorrow, Sunday, skies across the country will gradually clear from the morning, although Gangwon Province's East Sea coast and mountainous areas will be cloudy.
The KMA urged people in areas experiencing rain to take particular care on the roads, as visibility will be reduced and many roads will be slippery. It also warned that gusts, thunder and lightning are possible over the waters off the South Sea and Jeju Island, advising vessels sailing or fishing in those areas to exercise caution. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' nationwide, while levels in the Seoul metropolitan area will be 'Poor' until the morning before improving from the afternoon as rain and atmospheric dispersion clear the pollution.
Rain will gradually taper off starting late at night in Seoul and Incheon, the Chungnam region and Jeonbuk State. It is expected to stop in South Jeolla Province and the Gyeongsang region in the early hours of Sunday the 15th, and finally on Jeju Island between 6 and 9 a.m., with rain expected to have stopped in most areas by then.
