In the afternoon, less than 1mm of rain will fall along the southwestern coast of Jeollanam-do, and there may be raindrops of less than 0.1mm in other parts of the Jeolla region.


Jeju Island will experience occasional rain (mountain rain or snow) from daytime to evening. The expected precipitation (snowfall) is less than 5mm (1?3cm in the mountainous areas of Jeju Island).


The morning low temperature is forecasted to be between -7°C and 1°C, and the daytime high temperature between 5°C and 11°C.


Temperatures will be similar to or slightly higher than the average for this time of year (morning lows between -10°C and 0°C, daytime highs between 3°C and 9°C) for the time being. However, morning temperatures in the central regions and southern inland areas will be around -5°C, and especially in the Gangwon mountainous areas where a cold wave advisory is in effect, temperatures are expected to drop below -10°C, making it very cold.


From dawn to morning, dense fog will form mainly in the inland areas of Chungcheong and Jeolla regions. In areas with accumulated snow and fog, icy roads or black ice may appear, so caution is advised for traffic safety.


Fine dust levels are expected to be 'bad' in the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungcheong, Honam, Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam, and Jeju regions, and 'moderate' in other areas.


However, from the afternoon, the Seoul metropolitan area, Sejong, Chungnam, and Jeonbuk will temporarily experience 'very bad' levels, and Gangwon Yeongseo, Daejeon, Chungbuk, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, and Jeju regions will also temporarily have 'very bad' levels at night. Gangwon Yeongdong, Busan, and Ulsan will temporarily have 'bad' levels at night.



Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea coastal waters. In the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West and South Seas.
