Strong winds will make the perceived temperature lower than the actual temperature. The morning wind chill in Seoul will drop to minus 7 degrees Celsius. In the afternoon, it is expected to remain around 6 degrees Celsius.

Until the night of the 12th (18:00?21:00), rain will fall in the Gyeongsang region and the east coast of Gangwon Province, and until late night (21:00?24:00), rain or snow will fall in the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, the northeastern mountainous areas of North Gyeongsang Province, and the mountainous areas of Jeju Island. In some parts of Jeju's mountains, precipitation may continue until the early morning of the 13th. Roads will be very slippery in areas where rain or snow has fallen due to frozen surfaces. Special caution is needed as road black ice is likely to appear on bridges, overpasses, and tunnel entrances.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'normal' nationwide due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.
