[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Friday the 18th, the morning low temperature will be below minus 10 degrees Celsius, especially in the central inland areas, and the temperature will rise from noon.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that the morning low temperature in the central inland areas, eastern Jeonbuk, Gyeongbuk, and inland Gyeongnam?where a cold wave advisory has been issued?will drop below minus 10 degrees Celsius, and strong winds will make the wind chill temperature even lower.

The morning low temperature on Friday is expected to range from -14 to -2 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature from 3 to 10 degrees Celsius. From noon, temperatures will rise, and most cold wave advisories will be lifted. On Saturday the 19th, temperatures will temporarily recover to average levels.

Morning low temperatures by region are Seoul -7°C, Chuncheon -12°C, Incheon -6°C, Gangneung -4°C, Suwon -9°C, Hongseong -11°C, Cheongju -8°C, Andong -12°C, Daejeon -12°C, Jeonju -7°C, Gwangju -5°C, Daegu -9°C, Pohang -5°C, Ulsan -4°C, Busan -2°C, Changwon -5°C, Yeosu -2°C, Mokpo -5°C, and Jeju 2°C.

Fine dust levels will be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions.

In some areas of the metropolitan area, Chungcheong region, Gangwon-do, eastern Jeonnam, and Gyeongsang region where dry weather advisories are in effect, the atmosphere will be very dry. Strong winds will also blow, so special caution is required to prevent small sparks from turning into large fires.

In the East Sea offshore, very strong winds and high waves are expected, so vessels engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise caution. Along the East Coast, high waves caused by swell will strongly rush onto sandy beaches and may overflow rocks or breakwaters.

Wave heights will be 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore. In the offshore seas (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West and South Seas.
