[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The subzero cold wave that arrived on the 9th is expected to continue until the morning of the day after tomorrow (the 11th).

As of 8 a.m. that day, the lowest temperature in Seoul was recorded at 0.7 degrees Celsius. This temperature was measured at the Songwol-dong observation station, and according to the Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) by region, temperatures dropped to -0.3 degrees in Seodaemun, -3.7 degrees in Nowon, and -4.1 degrees in Eunpyeong, Seoul. Most inland areas recorded subzero temperatures. In Gangwon Province, Daegwallyeong was -6.0 degrees, and Chuncheon was -4.0 degrees. A cold wave warning was issued for northern Gyeonggi, Gangwon, some inland western Gyeongbuk, and Chungcheong regions as temperatures fell more than 10 degrees compared to the previous day.

During the day, temperatures are expected to rise, leading to the lifting of the cold wave warning. However, the cold weather in the morning will continue until the day after tomorrow. The lowest morning temperatures on the 10th are expected to range from -3 to 9 degrees Celsius, and on the 11th from -2 to 7 degrees. In Seoul, temperatures will rise compared to the 9th, ranging from 3 to 12 degrees on the 10th and 4 to 16 degrees on the 11th, but it will still be chilly. After this cold spell passes, temperatures are expected to return to normal levels by midweek. From the 12th onward, most regions will not see morning lows drop below 5 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, due to the influence of a cold and dry continental high-pressure system, dry weather warnings are in effect for Gangwon Yeongdong, the Gyeongsang coastal areas, and some inland parts of Gyeongbuk. The dry warning issued for the Gangwon region the previous day came about a month earlier than last year. With no significant rain expected until next week and continued inflow of cold northwesterly air, caution is advised regarding wildfires and fires. Thanks to smooth atmospheric dispersion, fine dust levels across all regions are expected to remain at 'moderate' to 'good' levels.
