According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, most regions nationwide will be under the edge of a high-pressure system moving southeast from the Shandong Peninsula in China until the 28th, and on the 29th, will be influenced by a high-pressure system over the West Sea.


The eastern part of Gangwon Province and the eastern coast of Gyeongsang Province will be under a high-pressure system centered over Northeast China until the 28th, and on the 29th, will be on the edge of a high-pressure system located over the East Sea. As the east wind blows along the edge of the high-pressure system over Northeast China, less than 5mm of rain may fall in the afternoon of the 28th in eastern Gangwon.


Under the influence of the high-pressure system, the weekend will be mostly clear. The sky nationwide will gradually clear from the morning of the 28th. However, eastern Gangwon and the eastern coast of Gyeongsang may have occasional clouds during the weekend.


The lowest temperature on the morning of the 28th is expected to be between 5 and 13 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature during the day between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius. Expected temperatures for major cities are: Seoul and Ulsan 10°C and 20°C, Incheon 10°C and 18°C, Daejeon and Daegu 9°C and 20°C, Gwangju 10°C and 21°C, and Busan 12°C and 21°C.


On the morning of the 29th, the lowest temperature will be between 5 and 14 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature during the day between 18 and 21 degrees Celsius. As the morning temperature drops, dense fog reducing visibility to less than 200 meters will occur from dawn to morning on the 28th in eastern Gyeonggi, inland Gangwon, Chungcheong, inland Jeonbuk, inland Jeonnam, and inland Gyeongsang, while other areas will experience fog with visibility less than 1 kilometer.


In the Gangwon mountain area, low-altitude clouds will flow in until the morning of the 29th, causing dense fog. Drivers should be cautious as fog or dew may freeze on some roads in the Gangwon mountain and inland areas, potentially causing icy patches.


Due to swells on the East Coast until the 29th, high waves may surge over breakwaters or coastal roads, so it is advisable to avoid these areas if possible.


From the 28th, the lunar gravitational force will strengthen, causing higher sea levels. Low-lying areas along the Jeolla coast, southern coast of Gyeongnam, and Jeju coast may be flooded during high tide, so preparations are necessary.



Except for the southern offshore waters of the West Sea, Jeju waters, and the central offshore waters of the East Sea, strong winds blowing at 35 to 60 km/h (10 to 16 m/s) and waves 2 to 4 meters high will occur on the East Sea until the morning of the 28th.
