[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] On Saturday the 5th, most of the country will be mostly clear, but some areas will experience snow or rain.

In the western part of Jeonbuk, northwestern Jeonnam, the mountainous areas of Jeju Island, and Ulleungdo and Dokdo, heavy snowfall is expected, with the possibility of a heavy snow warning being issued. Jeju Island will see rain or snow. Expected snowfall amounts are 3 to 10 cm in the mountainous areas of Jeju Island and Ulleungdo and Dokdo, 1 to 5 cm in the Jeolla region, and around 1 cm or less than 0.1 cm of flurries in other areas such as Chungnam, southern coastal areas of Gyeonggi, eastern and southern coastal areas of Jeonnam, and inland western Gyeongsang.

The cold weather will continue mainly in the central inland areas for the time being. Morning temperatures will drop below -10 degrees Celsius in inland Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous Gangwon, inland Chungcheong, and northern inland Gyeongbuk, where cold wave warnings have been issued. Winds will also blow somewhat strongly, making the wind chill temperature even lower and the cold more intense. Morning low temperatures are forecast to range from -16 to -2 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs from -5 to 4 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'good' across all regions.

Strong winds may cause gale warnings to be issued along coastal and mountainous areas nationwide. In the central East Sea offshore and northern offshore areas of the southern East Sea, where storm warnings are in effect, winds will blow very strongly and waves will be high, so vessels engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise special caution. Wave heights will be 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 1.0 to 3.0 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore. Offshore wave heights (offshore areas within approximately 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 1.5 to 4.0 meters in the East Sea and 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the West and South Seas.
