On the 30th, showing early winter weather, citizens dressed in thick clothes are moving busily at Gwanghwamun Intersection in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] On Tuesday the 8th, cold weather will continue with occasional clouds.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "Due to surface cooling overnight, the morning temperature will drop by more than 7 degrees compared to the previous day, resulting in subzero temperatures in most areas."

The morning temperatures in the central inland, eastern Jeonbuk, and inland Gyeongbuk will fall below minus 5 degrees, making it very cold.

In the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungcheong region, rain or snow that started the previous day may continue, and rain may fall in Ulleungdo and Dokdo until morning. Precipitation is expected to be less than 5mm, and snowfall around 1cm is forecast for eastern Jeonnam and the mountainous areas of Jeju.

The morning low temperatures are forecast as follows: △Seoul -4°C △Daejeon -2°C △Daegu -1°C △Busan 2°C △Jeonju -1°C △Gwangju 2°C △Cheongju -3°C △Chuncheon -7°C △Gangneung -1°C △Jeju 7°C △Ulleungdo·Dokdo 3°C.

The daytime high temperatures are expected to be: △Seoul 3°C △Daejeon 6°C △Daegu 7°C △Busan 9°C △Jeonju 6°C △Gwangju 7°C △Cheongju 5°C △Chuncheon 4°C △Gangneung 8°C △Jeju 10°C △Ulleungdo·Dokdo 7°C.

The air quality will generally be at a 'moderate' level due to smooth atmospheric dispersion. However, fine dust levels will be somewhat high in some inland areas (Chungbuk and Daegu).

A Korea Meteorological Administration official advised, "The air is dry nationwide. Especially in Gangwon Yeongdong and the eastern coast of Gyeongsang, strong winds may easily turn small sparks into large fires, so please be especially careful to prevent forest fires and other fires."
