[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] The cold snap is expected to continue until the morning of the 23rd.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that morning temperatures on the 23rd will range between -2°C and 6°C, making it chilly. However, during the day, warm air from the southwest will flow in, making most regions nationwide around 15°C, and the Gyeongsang region and the East Coast of Gangwon Province around 20°C, resulting in mild weather.

From dawn on the 23rd until the morning of the 24th, winds are expected to blow strongly at speeds of 35 to 65 km/h in the mountainous areas of Gangwon and northeastern mountainous areas of Gyeongbuk, and at 30 to 50 km/h along the central and northern East Coast of Gangwon. Winds will also be strong at 35 to 45 km/h with gusts exceeding 55 km/h along the southern East Coast of Gangwon and the East Coast of Gyeongbuk.

From the afternoon of the 23rd to the morning of the 24th, winds will blow strongly at 35 to 60 km/h over the central offshore East Sea and the northern offshore East Sea in the southern part. Waves will rise high at 1.5 to 3.0 meters.

From dawn to morning on the 23rd, some inland areas may experience fog with visibility less than 1 km.

Meanwhile, yellow dust originated from the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and the Inner Mongolian Plateau in China the previous day. This yellow dust is expected to increase fine dust (PM-10) concentrations mainly along the west coast between the night of the 22nd and the following morning.
