Thursday the 20th will be mostly clear and mild nationwide. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the morning low temperatures on the 20th are forecasted to be between -5 and 5 degrees Celsius, with daytime highs ranging from 9 to 15 degrees Celsius. These temperatures are higher than the average for this time of year. However, due to the large temperature difference between day and night, health precautions should be taken. Inland areas are expected to experience temperature differences of more than 10 degrees Celsius between day and night.

Fine dust levels will be 'moderate' in most regions. Southern Gyeonggi, Sejong, Chungbuk, and other central-western areas will experience 'bad' levels due to stagnant air. The east coast of Gangwon, the coastal areas of Gyeongsang, and some inland parts of Gyeongbuk will have very dry air, so caution is advised to prevent wildfires and other fire hazards.

The east coast will have very high waves caused by swells, with some waves overtopping breakwaters and coastal roads. Safety precautions should be taken along the coast. Wave heights are expected to be 0.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore, 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the South Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea nearshore.
