[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Cold air from the northwest continues to flow in, resulting in chilly weather. The cold will peak on the morning of the 4th, after which temperatures are expected to gradually rise.

The Korea Meteorological Administration announced that temperatures dropped 3 to 5 degrees compared to the previous day, with most inland areas falling below 0 degrees Celsius this morning. As of 7 a.m., the morning low temperatures were 0.3°C in Seoul, 2.3°C in Incheon, and -0.4°C in Daejeon. Due to the wind, the wind chill temperature is expected to feel about 3 degrees colder.

The central inland regions, eastern Jeonbuk, and inland Gyeongsang are experiencing very cold weather with temperatures dropping below -5°C. Cheorwon recorded a low of -6.2°C.

Due to the cold weather, frost has formed in most parts of the country, and ice is forming mainly in inland areas, raising concerns about damage to crops during the autumn harvest season.

This cold spell is expected to ease around the 6th. The day after tomorrow will be mostly cloudy nationwide, and since temperatures that rise during the day tomorrow will not drop significantly, morning temperatures are expected to be around 10 degrees Celsius, resolving the cold.
