The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between -3 to 5 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperatures between 4 to 12 degrees Celsius.

From the night of the 6th until 9 a.m. on the 7th, less than 5mm of rain is expected in the West Sea 5 Islands. Until noon, sporadic snow flurries or raindrops will fall in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gangwon Yeongseo, and Chungnam.

Fine dust concentrations will be bad in the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungcheong region, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, and Daegu, while other regions will show normal levels. Southern Gyeonggi, Sejong, and Chungbuk will temporarily experience very bad levels in the morning, and Jeonnam, Yeongnam region, and Jeju will have bad levels at night.

In Gangwon Yeongdong, the Gyeongsang coast, and the eastern southern coast of Jeonnam, where dry weather warnings have been issued, the air is very dry, so caution is required to prevent fires.
