[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] On the 5th, the coldest period of the year according to the solar terms, called 'Sohan' (小寒), clouds will cover the entire country.

Rain will fall in Jeju from the morning until the early morning of the day after tomorrow, and some mountainous areas of Jeju will experience snowfall. The expected precipitation is 5 to 30 mm in Jeju, and the expected snowfall in the Jeju mountains is 5 to 20 cm.

The morning low temperatures will range nationwide from -14 to 0 degrees Celsius, with Seoul at -7°C, Cheorwon at -14°C, Daejeon at -7°C, and Daegu at -5°C. The daytime high temperatures are forecasted to be between 1 and 8 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels will be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' across all regions.

In the central and southern offshore areas of the East Sea, winds will blow very strongly and waves will be very high, so ships engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise caution. Along the East Coast, high waves are expected to surpass breakwaters in some areas, so it is necessary to avoid approaching the coastline and take precautions.

Wave heights in the seas will be 1.0 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the South Sea nearshore. In the inner offshore areas (offshore within approximately 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West and South Seas.
