[Asia Economy Reporter Minji Lee] On Tuesday the 2nd, cold air will move southward from the northwest of our country, making it chilly from the morning.


According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, morning temperatures on the 2nd will range from 3 to 11 degrees Celsius, 2 to 5 degrees lower than the previous day (5 to 14 degrees). In the central and inland areas of Gyeongbuk and the eastern part of Jeonbuk, morning temperatures will drop to around 5 degrees, making it quite chilly. Daytime temperatures will be similar to the previous day, ranging from 15 to 20 degrees (previous day: 15 to 23 degrees).


With morning temperatures dropping and daytime temperatures remaining steady, the temperature difference between morning and afternoon will widen significantly to 10 to 15 degrees. The minimum and maximum temperatures by region are as follows: △Seoul (7°C·16°C), △Incheon (8°C·15°C), △Daejeon (7°C·17°C), △Gwangju (9°C·17°C), △Daegu (8°C·18°C), △Ulsan (9°C·18°C), △Busan (10°C·20°C).


The Yeongdong region of Gangwon Province will be mostly cloudy, with occasional rain in the northern part from morning through the night. Expected precipitation is less than 5 mm. In the central, Jeolla, Gyeongbuk, and western inland areas of Gyeongnam, dense fog reducing visibility to less than 200 meters is expected between dawn and morning.


Fine dust levels are expected to be 'bad' in Chungbuk, and 'good' or 'normal' in other regions. In the southern Gyeonggi region, Chungnam, and Jeonbuk, fine dust levels may temporarily worsen to 'bad' during the morning.



On the east coast, swells will bring high waves pushing toward the sandy beaches, potentially overflowing coastal roads, so it is advisable to avoid going near these areas if possible. If you live in low-lying coastal areas, preparations for flooding are necessary.
