[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] On Friday the 29th, temperatures will drop below freezing in most parts of the country, making it cold. Morning low temperatures are expected to range from -17 to -3 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs from -6 to 4 degrees Celsius. With strong winds, the wind chill will make it feel even colder.


Snow is forecast to fall until the morning in the Jeolla region and Jeju Island. Expected snowfall amounts are 5 to 10 cm (with some areas exceeding 15 cm) in the mountainous areas of Jeju Island and Ulleungdo and Dokdo, 3 to 8 cm in the Jeolla region (excluding the southern coast of Jeonnam), and 1 to 5 cm along the southern coast of Jeonnam.


Fine dust levels are expected to be 'good' across all regions. High waves caused by swells may overflow coastal roads or breakwaters along the west coast and Jeju Island. The southern coast should be cautious during high tide due to the astronomical tide causing higher sea levels.



Sea waves will be 1.5 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 4 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 3 meters in the South Sea coastal waters. Offshore wave heights are expected to be 3 to 8 meters in the East Sea, 1 to 5 meters in the West Sea, and 2 to 6 meters in the South Sea.
