On Monday the 29th, the whole country will be mostly clear, but there will be occasional clouds along the west coast and Jeju Island.

On Ulleungdo and Dokdo, there may be occasional snowfall of around 1 cm or rain less than 5 mm until the morning.

The morning low temperatures are forecast to range from -10°C to -1°C, and the daytime highs from 3°C to 9°C, similar to or slightly higher than the average.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'bad' in the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, and the Chungcheong region. In other areas, fine dust levels will be 'moderate'. However, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Daegu, and Gyeongbuk are also expected to experience temporarily 'bad' levels at night.

Inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon and the northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk, where cold wave warnings are in effect, will see morning temperatures around -10°C, and other central inland areas will drop to around -5°C, so health care should be taken.

In the eastern coastal areas and eastern Gyeongnam region, where dry warnings are in effect, special caution is needed to prevent wildfires and other fires. In the eastern coast of Gangwon and the coastal areas of Gyeongsang, caution is required due to swells.

No severe cold is expected for the time being. Especially on Wednesday the 31st, daytime temperatures will be warm enough to exceed 10°C, mainly in the southern regions.

On Tuesday the 30th, nationwide low temperatures will range from -9°C to 1°C, and highs from 5°C to 10°C. On the 31st, temperatures will rise further, with lows from -3°C to 7°C and highs from 5°C to 13°C.
