The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between -13 and 0 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 2 and 9 degrees Celsius. The cold wave warnings issued for northern and eastern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, northeastern Chungbuk, and northern inland Gyeongbuk may be lifted in some areas.


Most of the country will be mostly clear, but the Chungnam region, Jeolla region, and Jeju Island will be mostly cloudy. From dawn to morning, less than 0.1 cm of snow may fall along the western coast of Jeolla.


On Jeju Island's mountainous areas, less than 1 cm of snow and less than 1 mm of rain are forecasted from the 25th through the morning of the 26th.


The air will be very dry, especially along the East Coast and eastern Gyeongnam region, with somewhat strong winds, so caution is advised against wildfires and other fire hazards as small sparks could lead to large fires.



Fine dust levels are expected to be between ‘Good’ and ‘Moderate’ across all regions due to favorable atmospheric dispersion.
