[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Tuesday the 25th, the morning low temperatures fell below freezing in various inland areas.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, as of 6:30 a.m., major locations recorded temperatures as follows: Donghyang, Jeonbuk (Jinan) -3.1°C, Cheongcheon, Chungnam (Goesan) -2.8°C, Kimhwa, Gangwon (Cheorwon) -2.8°C, Seoraksan (Yangyang) -2.7°C, and Witseoreum, Jeju -2.5°C. Other temperatures include Chuncheon 2.7°C, Daejeon 2.8°C, Jeonju 4.0°C, Daegu 5.5°C, Seoul 6.3°C, and Suwon 6.7°C.

With generally clear skies nationwide, strong winds are making the perceived temperature feel even colder, so it is necessary to wear thick outerwear. Temperatures will gradually rise from noon, with the daytime high forecasted to be between 14 and 19°C. Morning temperatures will remain somewhat chilly around 5°C until the 26th. On the morning of the 26th, the low temperature will be between 2 and 12°C, and the daytime high will range from 16 to 21°C.

Frost will form mainly in the central inland, northern inland of Gyeongbuk, and eastern Jeonbuk, with some areas experiencing ice formation, so caution is advised for crop cold damage. Until morning, light rain or snow around 1mm is expected along the eastern coast of Gangwon and the eastern coast of Gyeongsang Province. Roads may be slippery due to freezing of rain or snow that fell the previous day, so caution is needed for traffic safety and mountain hiking.

Until the 25th, strong winds with gusts around 15 m/s will blow along the East Coast and Jeju Island. The southern part of the West Sea offshore and the southwestern part of the South Sea offshore will experience strong winds until the morning of the 25th, while the East Sea, other parts of the South Sea, and the seas around Jeju will have very strong winds of 10 to 16 m/s until the morning of the 26th (the southern offshore of Jeju until the afternoon of the 26th), with waves reaching 2 to 4 meters high.
