According to the Korea Meteorological Administration and others, the morning low temperature on the 27th will range from minus 10 degrees to 1 degree Celsius. The daytime high temperature is expected to be between 1 and 10 degrees Celsius. The expected low and high temperatures for major cities are: Seoul -4°C and 3°C, Incheon -4°C and 1°C, Daejeon -4°C and 5°C, Gwangju -1°C and 7°C, Daegu -2°C and 7°C, Ulsan -1°C and 8°C, and Busan 0°C and 10°C.

On the 28th, the morning low temperature will range between minus 12 degrees and 0 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature will be between 0 and 8 degrees Celsius, showing a slight drop compared to the previous day.

Temperatures are expected to be similar to or slightly higher than the average for this time of year for the time being. The continental high-pressure system that recently caused severe cold is weakening, and as South Korea comes under the influence of a mobile high-pressure system that has separated from the continental high, mild conditions will continue.

On the 27th, under the influence of a high-pressure system located over central China, the entire country will be mostly clear, but clouds will gradually increase from daytime. However, Jeju is expected to be mostly cloudy.

On the 28th, the high-pressure system moving from central China toward the Shandong Peninsula will bring mostly cloudy skies nationwide, clearing from daytime. Jeju is forecasted to be cloudy with rain expected between dawn and morning on the 28th.

The East Coast and eastern Gyeongsangnam-do are expected to have very dry air. Due to the high-pressure system, westerly winds will continue to blow, keeping the eastern side of the Taebaek Mountains dry. The winds may be somewhat strong, increasing the risk of fire outbreaks and spread, so caution is advised.

Fine dust levels will generally remain at 'moderate' over the weekend. However, under the stagnant air caused by the high-pressure system, fine dust concentrations are expected to be higher in western regions on the 27th and centered around central areas on the 28th. In particular, fine dust levels in southern Gyeonggi and Chungbuk on the 28th will reach 'unhealthy' levels.

Swells will continue to affect the East Coast, bringing high waves. Swells will be especially strong until the 27th, so it is advised to avoid coastal areas as much as possible.
