On the 17th, the morning temperature in the central inland region will drop to around -10 degrees Celsius.


The morning low temperature is forecasted to be between -13 and 0 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 3 and 9 degrees Celsius. In some parts of Gangwon inland and mountainous areas where a cold wave advisory has been issued, the morning temperature will fall to around -15 degrees Celsius.


As temperatures drop overnight, melted snow in the central region and Jeonbuk may refreeze. Therefore, caution is needed as icy patches or thin ice on roads may form.


Especially in Gyeonggi and Gangwon inland, as well as Honam inland, fog may form from early morning to morning.


Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions, and strong winds will blow.



Sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea nearshore. In the offshore seas (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West and South Seas.
