[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Strong winds will blow until the early morning of Friday, the 11th, in Gangwon Yeongdong and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk, where wildfires have not been completely extinguished.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) forecasted on the 10th that strong winds with instantaneous gusts of about 55 km/h will blow in Gangwon Yeongdong and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk until the early morning of the 11th.

The atmosphere is very dry, especially in areas under dry weather warnings such as parts of inland Gyeonggi, Gangwon, inland Chungcheong, eastern Jeolla, and Yeongnam. The KMA urged caution to prevent wildfires and other fires.

The minimum temperature on the morning of the 11th will range between -3°C and 10°C, similar to or slightly higher than the average (-4°C to 4°C). The maximum daytime temperature will be between 14°C and 20°C, higher than the average (8°C to 13°C). The central region is expected to have daytime temperatures around 15°C, and the southern region around 20°C.

The minimum and maximum temperatures in major cities are Seoul 4°C and 18°C, Incheon 4°C and 14°C, Daejeon 2°C and 18°C, Gwangju 9°C and 19°C, Daegu 5°C and 20°C, Ulsan 6°C and 20°C, and Busan 10°C and 17°C.

Additionally, dense fog will form mainly along the central west coast and northwestern inland Gyeonggi from the night of the 10th to the morning of the 11th, reducing visibility to below 200 meters.

In some areas, haze (a phenomenon where smoke, dust, and fine particles suspended in the atmosphere appear hazy when humidity is relatively low) is expected during the day, reducing visibility. The KMA advised, "Drivers should be cautious as thicker fog may form on bridges and roads along the west coast, including the West Sea, Yeongjong, and Incheon Bridge, compared to surrounding areas."

On the 11th, fine dust levels will be 'bad' in the metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungcheong, Jeonbuk, Daegu, and Gyeongbuk, while other regions will experience 'moderate' levels.
