[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] On Tuesday the 16th, morning temperatures will drop below 5 degrees Celsius in most parts of the country, making it chilly.

The morning low temperatures will range between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius, with northern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and some northern parts of Gyeongbuk experiencing subzero temperatures in the morning. In the central inland areas with lower temperatures, eastern Jeonbuk, and northern Gyeongbuk, frost or ice formation is expected during the early morning hours.

Expected minimum temperatures in major cities are 4 degrees in Seoul and Daejeon, 6 degrees in Incheon and Gwangju, 5 degrees in Daegu, 7 degrees in Ulsan, and 10 degrees in Busan. The highest daytime temperature is forecasted to be 13 degrees in Seoul, 12 degrees in Incheon, 16 degrees in Daejeon, 17 degrees in Gwangju, Daegu, and Ulsan, and 18 degrees in Busan.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Bad' in southern Gyeonggi, Sejong, Chungbuk, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, and Daegu, while other regions will have 'Moderate' levels. However, the Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts that fine dust may temporarily reach 'Bad' levels in Seoul and Incheon during the morning.

Dense fog with visibility less than 1 km may occur in inland areas until the morning, so caution is advised for traffic safety. The East Coast and northeastern mountainous areas of Gyeongbuk, where dry weather warnings have been issued, will experience very dry air and strong winds, requiring attention to prevent forest fires and other types of fires.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore. Wave heights in the offshore areas (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the South Sea.
