[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Monday morning, the temperature will drop to around 0 degrees Celsius, and chilly weather will continue during the day due to strong winds.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the whole country will be mostly clear on Monday, with morning temperatures around 0 degrees Celsius, 2 to 6 degrees lower than yesterday. Northern Gyeonggi, Gangwon Yeongseo, inland Chungcheong, and northern Gyeongbuk will be colder, ranging from -3 to 0 degrees Celsius.

During the day, winds will blow strongly at 5 to 10 meters per second, with gusts around 15 meters per second in the Gangwon mountain area, eastern Jeonbuk, Jeonnam region, and Jeju Island. From early dawn to morning tomorrow, strong winds of 10 to 18 meters per second are expected in the Gangwon mountain area and northeastern Gyeongbuk mountains.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "To prevent damage from strong winds, outdoor facilities such as screening clinics, construction sites, vinyl greenhouses, and traffic lights, as well as hazards like falling objects and signboards blown by the wind, should be inspected and prepared in advance." They also warned, "Since strong winds can cause small sparks to turn into large fires, please be cautious of various fires including forest fires."

Tomorrow morning temperatures will be between -2 and 5 degrees Celsius, similar to today, but daytime temperatures are expected to rise by 2 to 6 degrees as warm air flows in from the southwest. The daily temperature range will exceed 15 degrees, so please take care of your health during the changing seasons. The highest daytime temperature on the 23rd is expected to be between 14 and 19 degrees Celsius.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion. However, the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungnam are expected to temporarily reach 'Unhealthy' levels at night. Due to yellow dust originating from China and Mongolia, the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Sejong, Chungbuk, Chungnam, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, and Daegu are expected to have 'Unhealthy' levels, while other regions are expected to be 'Moderate.'

The Ministry of Environment stated, "Yellow dust originating from the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and the Inner Mongolian Plateau in China on the 21st may increase PM10 concentrations mainly along the west coast on the 22nd. However, depending on airflow patterns, the concentration and affected regions within Korea may vary, so please refer to forecasts."
