During the same period, 10 to 40 mm of rain is forecast for the central and southern parts of Gangwon Yeongdong, Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island.

Rainfall of 5 to 20 mm is expected in northern Gangwon Yeongdong and Gangwon Yeongseo, and 5 to 10 mm in Ulleungdo and Dokdo.

The expected snowfall is 5 to 15 cm in the Gangwon mountain area (with some places receiving more than 20 cm).

On the 26th, about 1 cm of snow is expected in northeastern Gyeonggi, 1 to 3 cm in the northern Gangwon East Coast and inland Gangwon, and 1 to 5 cm in the northeastern mountainous area of Gyeongbuk. From the 25th over two days, 5 to 15 cm of snow (with some places over 20 cm) is forecast in the Gangwon mountain area.

In areas with rain or snow, icy roads and black ice may appear, and visibility may be reduced, so caution is advised. In areas with heavy snow forecast such as the Gangwon mountain region, special attention should be paid to traffic safety and damage to facilities.

The morning low temperatures will range from 2 to 9℃, and the daytime highs will be between 7 and 15℃, similar to or slightly higher than the average.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the influence of precipitation.
