[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] As the noisy winter rain stops, the previously subdued cold returns. Temperatures across the country will drop more than 10 degrees compared to the previous day, making it cold.

The morning low temperature on the 9th is forecast to be -8 to 3 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature 2 to 10 degrees Celsius. In Seoul, the morning temperature will drop to -5 degrees Celsius, with a wind chill temperature expected to be -9 degrees Celsius.

The Korea Meteorological Administration explained, "In the central inland and North Gyeongsang inland areas, temperatures will drop more than 10 degrees compared to the previous day, and the wind chill temperature will fall to between -13 and -6 degrees Celsius due to the wind."

Along with the cold, fine dust will also be inflowing. It is forecasted to be at a 'bad' level in Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon Yeongseo, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungbuk, and Daegu, while other regions are expected to show a 'normal' level. Seoul, Incheon, Chungnam, and Gyeongbuk may experience 'bad' fine dust concentration levels temporarily in the morning.

The central region will be under the influence of high pressure, with many clouds clearing from the morning, while the southern region, on the edge of the high pressure, will have many clouds.

Snow or rain around 5mm is expected on the northern East Coast of Gangwon-do until the 9th.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 3.0 meters high in the West Sea nearshore, 0.5 to 3.5 meters in the South Sea nearshore, and 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the East Sea nearshore. Offshore wave heights are forecasted to be 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the West and South Seas, and 2.0 to 5.0 meters in the East Sea.

Winds will be very strong over most seas, and waves will be high at 3 to 6 meters. On the East Coast, where storm and tsunami warnings have been issued, as well as in Ulleungdo and Dokdo, waves may overtop breakwaters, so caution is needed to prevent safety accidents.

Since rain that fell on the roads the previous day may freeze, causing icy roads, caution is necessary for traffic safety during the morning commute.
