[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] On Saturday the 14th, the whole country will be mostly clear, but morning temperatures will drop below freezing in most areas, making it cold. Cold air descending from the north will bring strong winds, causing the wind chill to feel even colder.

That morning, Daegwallyeong dropped to -8.7 degrees Celsius, and Seoul fell to -2.7 degrees Celsius.

Even during the day, Seoul's temperature will remain around 9 degrees Celsius, making it chilly throughout the day.

Cold wave warnings are in effect for parts of the central region and Gyeongbuk. Especially in the central region, clouds will increase in the afternoon with sporadic raindrops or snowflakes in some areas.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "Since the temperature difference between day and night will exceed 10 degrees Celsius, please take care of your health during the changing seasons."

This cold spell is expected to continue until the 16th.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'moderate' across all regions. However, Gwangju and Jeonbuk are forecasted to experience 'bad' levels of fine dust at night due to inflow from overseas.

Coastal areas will experience strong winds, and the air in Gangwon Yeongdong and the eastern coast of Gyeongsang will gradually become dry.
