According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the morning low temperature on that day is predicted to range from -8°C to 5°C. The daytime high temperature is expected to be between 5°C and 14°C.

The KMA stated, "As cold air descends from the northwest, morning temperatures on the 22nd and 23rd will be about 7 degrees lower than on the 21st, especially in the central inland areas, remaining below freezing. Daytime temperatures will also drop by 2 to 4 degrees compared to the 21st."

From the night of the 21st to the morning of the 22nd, fog with visibility less than 1 km is expected mainly in inland areas. The KMA warned that if the surface temperature drops below freezing where fog forms, the fog may adhere to roads and freeze, so caution is advised.
