The average temperature will be similar to or slightly higher than usual. Morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between -4 and 7 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs between 11 and 17 degrees Celsius. In the morning, snow that partially melted during the day on the 18th will have refrozen overnight, causing many icy patches on the roads.


Morning low and daytime high temperatures in major regions are ▲Seoul 1~14°C ▲Incheon 3~14°C ▲Suwon 0~14°C ▲Chuncheon -3~12°C ▲Gangneung 6~15°C ▲Cheongju 2~15°C ▲Daejeon 1~15°C ▲Gwangju 4~15°C ▲Daegu 3~16°C ▲Busan 5~17°C ▲Jeju 10~18°C.


Clouds will be widespread nationwide but will clear from night. In the southern part of Gangwon Yeongseo, about 1 mm of rain is expected in the afternoon. Between morning and afternoon, less than 0.1 mm of raindrops will fall in southern Gyeonggi, central and northern Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungnam region, northern Chungbuk, and northern inland Gyeongbuk. From afternoon to evening, less than 0.1 mm of rain will fall in eastern Jeonbuk.


With a dry weather advisory in effect for the Gangwon East Coast and northern Gyeongbuk East Coast, the atmosphere will remain very dry mainly along the East Coast for the time being, so caution is needed to prevent forest fires and other types of fires.


Fine dust levels will remain from the previous day and will be affected by incoming dust from abroad, resulting in 'bad' air quality in southern Gyeonggi, while other regions will experience 'good' to 'moderate' levels. Seoul, Incheon, and northern Gyeonggi are expected to reach 'bad' levels in the afternoon, and Chungcheong and Jeonbuk regions at night.



Sea waves will be 1.0 to 3.0 meters in the East Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea and South Sea nearshore. Wave heights in the offshore areas (about 200 km from the coastline) are predicted to be 1.5 to 4.0 meters in the East Sea, 1.5 to 3.0 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea.
