Between the 27th and 28th, morning temperatures fell by 3 to 10 degrees, and between the 28th and 29th, they will plunge again by 5 to 10 degrees. On Saturday the 29th, the morning low temperature is expected to range from -5°C to 5°C, and the daytime high temperature will be between 6°C and 14°C.

The expected low and high temperatures for major cities are Seoul 1°C and 7°C, Incheon 2°C and 7°C, Daejeon 1°C and 10°C, Gwangju 1°C and 11°C, Daegu 3°C and 12°C, Ulsan 4°C and 12°C, and Busan 5°C and 13°C.

On Sunday the 30th, morning lows will range from -5°C to 2°C, and daytime highs will be between 7°C and 12°C.

Strong gusts of wind around 55 km/h (15 m/s) nationwide will lower the perceived temperature, intensifying the cold. The strong winds blowing through the long dry atmosphere increase the risk of large fires.

Currently, dry weather warnings have been issued for the southern inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Yeongdong, Jecheon, and Danyang in Chungbuk, eastern Gwangju and Jeolla, and Yeongnam excluding Busan and the southern coast. Even areas without warnings are experiencing similarly dry conditions.

Between the morning and afternoon of the 29th, rain or snow will fall in various places in the Seoul metropolitan area, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and the northern west coast of Chungnam. Light rain or snow flurries may occur in Chungcheong, Honam, and the northern inland and northeastern mountains of Gyeongbuk.

Expected precipitation amounts are less than 5 mm in eastern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon; around 1 mm in Seoul, Incheon, western Gyeonggi, the five western islands, northern west coast of Chungnam, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo. Snow accumulation is expected to be around 1 to 5 cm in the mountainous areas of Gangwon and about 1 cm in the inland areas.
