[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] On Sunday the 8th, the cold will envelop the entire body. Due to the wind, the perceived temperature will be even lower, so it is necessary to dress warmly.


On this day, the nationwide morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 2 and 12 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperatures between 10 and 18 degrees Celsius.


In Seoul, the morning low temperature will be 6 degrees Celsius, rising to 10 degrees Celsius at noon, but with the wind, the perceived temperature will be around 3 to 4 degrees Celsius.


By region, temperatures will be: Incheon 7 to 10 degrees, Chuncheon 3 to 12 degrees, Gangneung 9 to 15 degrees, Daejeon 7 to 13 degrees, Gwangju 9 to 14 degrees, Daegu 8 to 15 degrees, Busan 10 to 18 degrees, Ulsan 8 to 16 degrees, and Jeju 14 to 18 degrees.


Frost will form in most areas, and ice may form especially inland. Caution is needed to prevent damage to crops.


Dry weather warnings are in effect for Gangwon Yeongdong, the northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk, and the eastern coast of Gyeongsang. The air is very dry, and especially in Gangwon Yeongdong, strong winds may cause small sparks to spread into large fires, so care must be taken to prevent forest fire damage.


Sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the South Sea coastal waters. In the open seas, wave heights will be 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea, 1.5 to 3.5 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea.



Fine dust concentrations will be at a 'normal' level across all regions. However, the southern Gyeonggi area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungcheong region, and Honam region will experience 'bad' levels until morning, and the Yeongnam region will have 'bad' levels until daytime.
