[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Monday the 14th, the whole country will be mostly cloudy, with snow and rain expected in the central region due to the influence of east winds and a pressure trough passing from the north. From that night, temperatures will drop significantly, with the lowest temperature in the Seoul metropolitan area falling below -5 degrees Celsius on the morning of the 15th.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that due to the east winds, rain or snow will fall until morning in the central part of Gangwon Yeongdong, until daytime in northern Gangwon and Jeju Island, and until late afternoon in the eastern Gyeongsang region.

Due to the pressure trough passing from the north, rain or snow will begin in the late afternoon in the Seoul metropolitan area, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and the Chungnam region, and from night in the eastern coast of central and northern Gangwon, Chungbuk, Jeonbuk, northern Jeonnam, and inland western Gyeongsang.

By dawn on the 15th, up to 10 cm of snow will accumulate in the northern mountainous areas of Gangwon, and 2 to 7 cm in the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon. Northern Gyeonggi, the eastern coast of northern Gangwon, Chungcheong region, eastern Jeonbuk, northern inland Gyeongbuk, and mountainous areas of Jeju Island will see 1 to 3 cm, while Seoul, southern Gyeonggi, western Jeonbuk, northern Jeonnam, southwestern inland Gyeongbuk, western inland Gyeongnam, and the five western islands will have less than 1 cm.

Rain or snow will continue until night in the Seoul metropolitan area, central and northern eastern Gangwon coast, and Chungnam region (excluding southern inland). It will stop by dawn on the 15th in the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, southern inland Chungnam, Chungbuk, Jeonbuk, northern Jeonnam, western inland Gyeongsang, and Jeju Island. From the morning of the 15th, snow is expected on the western coast of Jeolla.

As of 7 a.m. on the 14th, the lowest morning temperatures by region are: Seoul 0.3°C, Chuncheon -5.8°C, Gangneung 2.8°C, Incheon -0.2°C, Suwon -2.4°C, Cheongju -0.2°C, Daejeon -1.9°C, Daegu 2.8°C, Jeonju 0.3°C, Pohang 5.3°C, Ulsan 5.2°C, Gwangju 1.5°C, Mokpo 1.4°C, Yeosu 6.4°C, Changwon 4.0°C, Busan 6.3°C, Jeju 8.3°C.

From the night of the 14th, cold air will move southward from the north, causing temperatures to drop sharply. On Tuesday morning, the lowest temperatures will fall below -5°C in the Seoul metropolitan area, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, northern Chungbuk, and northern Gyeongbuk. This cold spell is expected to continue until the 18th.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "From the night of the 14th, temperatures will drop sharply, and in areas where rain or snow falls until the 16th, icy roads or black ice may form. Drivers should operate vehicles at low speeds and maintain safe distances."

Until the morning of the day, some areas in southern Gyeonggi, Chungcheong region, inland Jeonbuk, and inland Gyeongbuk will experience fog with visibility under 1 km. In the mountainous areas of Gangwon, low clouds will cause fog with visibility under 1 km, and locally dense fog with visibility under 200 meters.

There will be many places with haze mainly in the western regions, so health management should be taken seriously. The fine dust concentration is expected to be 'bad' in southern Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, and Honam regions, and 'good' to 'moderate' in other areas. However, Jeju is expected to temporarily reach 'bad' levels in the morning.
