[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Wednesday the 22nd, the whole country will be mostly clear, with morning temperatures in the central inland areas dropping by about 7 degrees compared to the previous day, making it chilly.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, as of 7 a.m. that day, the morning low temperatures are Seoul -2.3°C, Incheon -1.6°C, Suwon -3.2°C, Cheongju -0.7°C, Daejeon -1.9°C, Jeonju -0.6°C, Daegu -1.0°C, Gwangju 0.8°C, Ulsan 4.8°C, Busan 6.3°C, Yeosu 4.7°C, etc.

The daytime high temperatures are also expected to remain between 6 and 15 degrees Celsius, 2 to 4 degrees lower than the previous day. On the 23rd, morning lows will range from -7 to 5 degrees Celsius, and on the 24th, morning lows will drop to between -4 and 5 degrees Celsius.

The east coast of Gangwon Province will be mostly cloudy, and light rain of about 1mm is expected during the day (09:00?15:00) on the northern Gangwon east coast. Ulleungdo and Dokdo will also receive 5 to 10mm of rain until the 23rd.

Currently, a dry weather advisory is in effect mainly along the east coast, and the air is very dry with strong winds. The Korea Meteorological Administration has urged caution to prevent forest fires.

Visibility below 1 km due to fog is expected mainly in the southern inland areas until 10 a.m., so traffic safety should be observed.

Winds will blow very strongly at 9 to 16 meters per second in the central East Sea offshore and northern southern East Sea offshore areas, with waves reaching very high levels of 1.5 to 4.0 meters.

As swells flow into the east coast, high waves will strongly rush onto sandy beaches and overflow rocky shores. When swells occur, coastal safety accidents can happen even with waves around 1.5 meters, so approaching the coast should be avoided.
