[Asia Economy Reporter Myung-Hwan Lee] On Tuesday the 18th, early winter cold will continue due to the inflow of cold air caused by the expansion of the continental high pressure system over northern China. Morning temperatures will drop by about 5 to 10 degrees compared to the previous day, and strong winds will make the perceived temperature feel even colder.


The morning low temperature in Seoul is forecasted to be 4 degrees Celsius. Nationwide morning lows are expected to range from -1 to 10 degrees Celsius, with daytime highs between 13 and 19 degrees Celsius. The daily temperature range is expected to be around 15 degrees, so special attention should be paid to health management.


Frost will form inland, and some areas may experience ice formation overnight.


The sky will be mostly clear nationwide, but occasional clouds are expected along the west coast, east coast, and Jeju Island. With good atmospheric dispersion, fine dust levels will be at a "good" level across all regions.


Very strong winds will blow along the southern coast of Jeollanam-do and Jeju Island. Most marine areas will have storm warnings issued, so thorough management of facilities is required, and fishing and navigation vessels should take safety precautions.



Sea waves will be 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea coastal waters. In the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are predicted to be 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East and West Seas, and 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the South Sea.
