[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Monday the 26th is expected to have mostly cloudy weather nationwide.

On Ulleungdo and Dokdo, 1 to 5 cm of snow is expected to fall until the afternoon of the 27th.

As of 7 a.m. that day, temperatures in major areas are Seoul -7.6°C, Incheon -6.1°C, Suwon -10.1°C, Chuncheon -14.6°C, Gangneung -2.4°C, Cheongju -8.7°C, Daejeon -8.3°C, Jeonju -6.7°C, Gwangju -4.8°C, Jeju 6.0°C, Daegu -7.0°C, Busan 0.8°C, Ulsan -2.6°C, Changwon -3.0°C, etc.

The daytime high temperature is forecasted to be between -1°C and 9°C. The daytime high in Seoul is forecasted to be 1°C.

With slightly strong winds, the wind chill will make it feel even colder, so caution is needed for health management.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'bad' in Gyeonggi-do, Yeongseo region of Gangwon-do, and Chungbuk, while other areas will see levels ranging from 'good' to 'normal.'

However, Seoul, Sejong, and Jeonbuk are expected to temporarily experience 'bad' levels in the morning.

With a high wave advisory issued for the East Sea coastal waters and added swell, very high waves will strongly hit the East Coast, so access to coastal areas should be avoided to prevent damage.

Sea waves are expected to be 1.0 to 3.0 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea and South Sea coastal waters.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea.
