[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] On Christmas Day, the 25th, the whole country will be mostly clear with a biting cold wave approaching.

The morning low temperatures will range from -17 to -2 degrees nationwide, with Seoul at -14°C, Cheorwon at -17°C, Daejeon at -10°C, and Daegu at -7°C. The daytime high temperatures are forecasted to be between -8 and 2 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels will be 'good' across all regions.

Snow will fall until the morning in Gangwon Yeongdong and northern Gyeongbuk, and rain or snow is expected in Jeju. The expected snowfall amounts are 10 to 30 cm in Jeju mountain areas and Ulleungdo·Dokdo (with some parts of Jeju mountain areas exceeding 40 cm and some parts of Ulleungdo·Dokdo exceeding 50 cm), 5 to 20 cm in Gangwon Yeongdong, and 1 to 5 cm in northern Gyeongbuk.

Strong winds are forecasted along the west coast of Chungnam and Jeolla, as well as Jeju. Winds will be very strong over the seas of the West Sea, South Sea, and Jeju, with high waves, so caution is required for ships navigating or fishing.

Sea waves will be 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 2.0 to 4.0 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the South Sea coastal waters. In the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are forecasted to be 1.5 to 5.0 meters in the East Sea, 3.0 to 5.5 meters in the West Sea, and 1.5 to 5.5 meters in the South Sea.
