The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "As cold air flows in from the northwest, morning temperatures will drop 3 to 5 degrees lower than the previous day," adding, "Strong winds will also blow, making the perceived temperature even lower."

Heavy snowfall is expected mainly in Jeonbuk, western Jeonnam, the mountainous areas of Jeju Island, and around Ulleungdo and Dokdo. The snow will fall heavily until the evening and gradually subside from night.

Due to the severe cold, special attention should be paid to health management such as preventing weakened immunity and cold-related illnesses, as well as facility management like preventing water pipe bursts.

Fine dust levels will be 'Good' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "In areas where snow fell the previous day, temperatures will remain below freezing overnight, causing accumulated snow to freeze and create icy roads on side streets and residential alleys," urging, "Please maintain sufficient safety distance when driving and be especially cautious of traffic and pedestrian safety to prevent falls and accidents."
