[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] On the morning of the 9th, the cold weather will continue with subzero temperatures, but temperatures are expected to rise from midday.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) announced on the 8th that due to the influence of cold air descending from the northwest, morning temperatures on the 9th will remain below -10 degrees Celsius in northern Gyeonggi and inland/mountain areas of Gangwon, and below -5 degrees Celsius in other central regions and southern inland areas.

From midday on the 9th, warm westerly winds will blow, raising temperatures nationwide to around 5 degrees Celsius. On the 10th, temperatures will rise further, making the entire country mild with daytime temperatures around 10 degrees Celsius.

The KMA emphasized that in Gangwon Yeongdong, parts of Gyeongsang, and Jeonnam, where dry weather warnings have been issued, the air is very dry, so special caution is needed to prevent various fires such as wildfires.

Warnings for high waves have been issued for the southern Yellow Sea, the seas around Jeju Island, and the distant East Sea, requiring caution. In the distant East Sea, northwesterly winds are blowing very strongly at speeds of 10 to 16 meters per second, so attention is also needed for facility management.
