Fine Dust Levels 'Bad' Across the Country

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 26th, temperatures will be similar to or slightly higher than the average (lowest temperatures between -10 and 1 degrees Celsius, highest temperatures between 1 and 9 degrees Celsius). However, in northern and eastern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and some inland areas of North Gyeongsang, morning temperatures will drop below -5 degrees Celsius, making it cold.

Morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between -10 and 3 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs between 5 and 12 degrees Celsius. In areas where snow has recently accumulated, melted snow during the day may refreeze overnight, creating icy roads or black ice. The Korea Meteorological Administration urges drivers to reduce speed and exercise extra caution for traffic safety. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'bad' in the Seoul metropolitan area, Yeongseo region of Gangwon, Chungcheong region, Gwangju, and Jeonbuk, while other regions are expected to have 'moderate' levels.



Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea and South Sea nearshore. In the offshore waters (approximately 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are predicted to be 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea and South Sea.
