According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the highest daytime temperatures on the 17th are expected to be -4°C in Seoul, -3°C in Incheon, and -1°C in Daejeon and Chuncheon. Due to the strong northwesterly winds, the wind chill will make it feel much colder, with perceived temperatures of -9°C in Seoul and -11°C in Incheon. The cold will continue until tomorrow morning. The lowest temperatures tomorrow morning will range from -13°C to 1°C, below the average (-8°C to 2°C). However, daytime temperatures will recover to 3°C to 9°C, close to the average (5°C to 10°C). On the morning of the 19th, temperatures will be between -8°C and 1°C (average -8°C to 2°C), with daytime temperatures of 8°C to 12°C (average 5°C to 10°C), showing average levels. After this cold wave passes, except for the 'kkotsem cold' (early spring cold snap), the Korea Meteorological Administration expects no further major cold spells this winter.
