[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] On Sunday the 26th, the entire country is expected to be mostly clear with continued cold weather.

Cold wave warnings will be issued for most regions nationwide, and morning temperatures will drop further compared to the previous day (the 25th), falling below minus 10 degrees Celsius, making it very cold. Strong winds will also blow, causing the wind chill temperature to feel even lower.

The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between -20 and -6 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperatures between -8 and 2 degrees Celsius.

Heavy snow is expected mainly along the Jeolla West Coast, Jeju Island, and Ulleungdo and Dokdo, but some areas may experience a lull during the day.

The expected snowfall from the 25th to the 27th over three days is 10 to 40 cm in the mountainous areas of Jeju Island and Ulleungdo·Dokdo, 5 to 15 cm along the Jeolla West Coast and Jeju Island (excluding mountainous areas), 3 to 8 cm in inland Jeolla (excluding the eastern part), and 1 to 5 cm in the Chungnam region and the five West Sea islands.

If snow falls along with strong winds, there may be disruptions to flights and passenger transportation, so travelers must check information in advance.

Fine dust levels will be 'Good' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

Very strong winds and high waves are expected in the West Sea, South Sea, and Jeju Sea areas, so ships engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise caution. On the East Coast, high waves caused by swell may strongly hit the sandy beaches, so special attention should be paid to facility management and coastal safety accidents.

Sea waves are expected to be 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore. The wave heights in the offshore areas (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 2.0 to 5.0 meters in the East Sea, and 1.5 to 5.0 meters in the West and South Seas.
