[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Tomorrow (29th), a severe cold wave is expected to return nationwide. Snow is also anticipated in the southern Gyeonggi region and the Chungnam West Coast.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, from the afternoon of the 28th, cold air from the north will move southward, causing the morning low temperatures on the 29th to drop to between -16°C and -8°C in the central region, and between -8°C and -1°C in the southern region, which is lower than the morning lows on the 28th (ranging from -11.0°C to 0.8°C).

The daytime high temperatures are expected to range from -3°C to 7°C.

The expected low and high temperatures for major cities are: Seoul and Incheon at -8°C and -1°C, Daejeon at -6°C and 2°C, Gwangju at -4°C and 4°C, Daegu at -3°C and 4°C, Ulsan at -3°C and 5°C, and Busan at -2°C and 7°C.

A narrow wind corridor will form between the continental high pressure descending from the north and the low pressure moving eastward, making the wind chill temperature much lower.

As of 7 a.m. on the 29th, the wind chill temperature will drop to -11°C in Seoul and -7°C in Busan.

On the 30th, the morning low temperatures will range from -14°C to 0°C, and daytime highs from -2°C to 8°C, continuing the severe cold wave.

On the 29th, clouds will be occasionally dense nationwide, with snow expected at dawn in the southern Gyeonggi West Coast, northern inland Chungnam area, and central Chungbuk. Snow flurries may occur from late night on the 29th to early morning on the 30th in the southern Gyeonggi West Coast, Chungnam West Coast, and northern inland Chungcheong areas.

The expected snowfall amount is around 1 cm.

With strong winds blowing, the fine dust that has covered the nation will temporarily subside. The National Institute of Environmental Research expects that on the 29th, due to smooth atmospheric dispersion, the nationwide fine dust levels will be rated from 'Good' to 'Moderate'.
