On the morning of the 8th, dense fog is expected to form mainly over the inland areas south of Chungcheong, with somewhat chilly temperatures below freezing.

From the night of the 7th until the morning of the 8th, dense fog will cover various inland areas of southern Chungcheong, Jeolla, southern Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam, reducing visibility to less than around 200 meters. Other regions will also experience fog lowering visibility to below 1 km.

The fog is caused by the drop in temperature overnight in an atmosphere with high humidity due to recent continuous precipitation. Extra caution is advised around rivers, lakes, valleys, and tunnel entrances and exits where fog may be thicker, and attention should be paid to the possibility of fog freezing on roads, creating thin ice.

Some central-western regions will experience dense fine dust. Fine dust levels in southern Gyeonggi, Sejong, and Chungbuk on the 8th are expected to be at 'bad' levels. The National Institute of Environmental Research explained that this is due to stagnant air causing the accumulation of fine dust generated domestically.

The lowest temperatures on the morning of the 8th will range from minus 7 degrees Celsius to 2 degrees Celsius above zero, and the highest daytime temperatures will be between 4 and 11 degrees Celsius, maintaining levels similar to or slightly above the average. The mountainous areas of Gangwon and northeastern Gyeongbuk will experience temperatures around minus 10 degrees Celsius, while other central and southern inland areas will see temperatures drop to around minus 5 degrees Celsius, making it chilly.

Expected minimum and maximum temperatures in major cities are: Seoul minus 3 degrees and 6 degrees Celsius, Incheon minus 3 degrees and 4 degrees Celsius, Daejeon minus 4 degrees and 7 degrees Celsius, Gwangju minus 2 degrees and 8 degrees Celsius, Daegu minus 2 degrees and 9 degrees Celsius, Ulsan 0 degrees and 10 degrees Celsius, and Busan 2 degrees and 10 degrees Celsius.

Until early morning on the 8th, light snow will fall in the central and southern inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, northern inland Gyeongbuk, and northeastern mountainous Gyeongbuk, with some snow flurries in northern Gangwon and central to northern Chungbuk.

From the night of the 7th to the 8th, swells will flow into the East Coast, causing high waves to reach the sandy beaches, so caution is necessary to prevent safety accidents.
