[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] On Saturday the 14th, morning temperatures across the country will drop sharply, and cold winds will blow throughout the day, continuing the cold weather.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 13th, on the 14th, under the influence of high pressure over central China, the whole country will be mostly clear, but in the eastern Gyeonggi region, Gangwon Province, and the northern inland areas of North Gyeongsang Province where a cold wave advisory has been issued, morning temperatures will drop more than 10 degrees compared to the previous day, making it very cold.

Most other regions will also have morning low temperatures below freezing, and strong winds will make the perceived temperature even lower.

On Sunday the 15th, morning low temperatures are expected to rise by 2 to 4 degrees compared to the previous day but will remain below freezing, so the cold will continue.

The Korea Meteorological Administration urged people to take precautions to prevent damage to livestock and crops by referring to the cold wave impact forecast (announced at 11:30 a.m. on the 13th).

During the day, temperatures will rise due to sunlight, causing a temperature difference of more than 10 degrees between day and night, so health management should also be carefully considered.

Strong winds blowing at 30 to 50 km/h are expected mainly along the coast and in the mountainous areas of Gangwon Province, so attention should be paid to managing facilities.

In the southern offshore waters of Jeju Island and the western coastal waters of Jeju Island, waves will become very high, and there is a possibility that a storm warning will be issued in the early morning of the 14th.

The weekend fine dust level is forecasted to be "normal" across all regions, but Gwangju and North Jeolla Province are expected to temporarily reach "bad" levels at night.

The National Institute of Environmental Research's Air Quality Integrated Forecast Center predicted, "Overseas fine dust will be inflowing in the afternoon, causing concentrations to rise at night in some western areas."
