[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On the morning of Tuesday the 21st, temperatures will drop significantly, continuing the chilly weather. The cold snap is forecasted to persist through tomorrow and the day after.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 20th, the 21st will be mostly cloudy nationwide, with morning low temperatures ranging from 1 to 9 degrees Celsius, a significant drop compared to the previous day (6 to 11 degrees). The daytime high temperatures are also expected to be slightly lower, ranging from 10 to 18 degrees Celsius.

The KMA stated, "As cold air flows in from the northwest, temperatures will not rise much, resulting in daytime highs below 20 degrees throughout this week. Inland areas will experience morning lows below 5 degrees, making it chilly."

Seoul’s low temperature is forecasted at 5 degrees, with a high of 10 degrees. Chuncheon is expected to range from 3 to 12 degrees, Daejeon 7 to 14 degrees, Gwangju 4 to 11 degrees, Daegu 8 to 16 degrees, Busan 9 to 18 degrees, and Jeju 11 to 17 degrees.

From the afternoon of the 21st, strong winds blowing at 30 to 60 km/h are expected in the central inland areas, the west coast, and northern Gyeongbuk, with a possibility of a strong wind advisory being issued. Other regions may also experience strong winds at 30 to 45 km/h. Caution is advised for the management of outdoor facilities such as screening clinics, tents, and signboards, as well as for safety accidents.

Some inland and mountainous areas will have morning temperatures around 0 degrees Celsius. In some central regions, morning temperatures will drop below freezing, causing frost and ice formation. Attention should be paid to prevent cold damage to crops.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'moderate' across all regions. However, the metropolitan area and Chungnam are expected to experience 'unhealthy' levels temporarily in the morning, with other regions also seeing brief periods of 'unhealthy' air quality.

The Integrated Air Quality Forecasting Center explained, "Yellow dust originating on the 20th will begin to flow in from dawn, causing temporarily elevated concentrations mainly in the central and western regions."

Sea waves will be 1 to 3 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 4 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea coastal waters. Offshore wave heights are expected to be 1 to 5 meters in the East Sea, 1 to 4 meters in the West Sea, and 1 to 3 meters in the South Sea.
