In 2019, tourists visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace during Gyeongchip wore hanbok beautifully.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] On the 5th, Gyeongchip, when all things awaken from hibernation, daytime temperatures are expected to rise above 15 degrees Celsius, making it mild.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) stated, "On this day, the northern and eastern parts of Gyeonggi Province, Yeongseo region of Gangwon Province, and northern Chungbuk will experience subzero temperatures, while other areas will have temperatures above freezing."

The central region is expected to be mostly clear, while the southern region will be mostly cloudy. Some areas along the eastern coast of Gyeongsang will see rain in the morning.

The morning low temperatures by region are forecasted to range from -2 to 9 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs from 12 to 19 degrees Celsius.

The KMA added, "After Gyeongchip, temperatures tend to gradually rise," and "especially since 2013, the daily average temperature in March has shown a more distinct increasing trend."

The morning low temperatures are △Seoul 1°C △Chuncheon -2°C △Gangneung 2°C △Daejeon 2°C △Cheongju 2°C △Daegu 6°C △Gwangju 5°C △Jeonju 4°C △Busan 9°C △Jeju 11°C.

Fine dust levels will be 'bad' in southern Gyeonggi, Sejong, Chungbuk, Chungnam, and Daegu, while other regions will range from 'good' to 'moderate.'

The KMA warned, "After the rain stops in the morning and temperatures drop, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters may form mainly in the southern inland areas of Chungcheong and inland Jeolla regions, and fog with visibility less than 1 km may occur in other inland areas, so special attention to traffic safety is required."
