[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] On Tuesday the 19th, cold weather is expected to continue as cold air flows in from the northwest.

On the 18th, the Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "The minimum temperature on the morning of the 19th will drop sharply by about 5 to 10 degrees compared to today (the 18th)," adding, "Strong winds will also blow, making the wind chill temperature even lower, so it will be very cold."

The morning minimum temperatures by region on the 19th are expected to be △Seoul -13°C △Chuncheon -16°C △Gangneung -9°C △Daejeon -11°C △Cheongju -11°C △Daegu -9°C △Gwangju -7°C △Jeonju -9°C △Busan -6°C △Jeju 2°C.

Fine dust levels are expected to be at a 'Good' level across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

Meanwhile, the Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "Outdoor workers such as those at screening clinics should pay attention to health management to prevent cold-related illnesses," and "Due to the recent rapid temperature changes, special care should be taken for the health management of the elderly and those with weakened immunity."
