The daytime high is forecast to range from 11 to 18 degrees Celsius.

As cold air moves southward, cold wave advisories have been issued in many regions across the country. In the coming days, inland areas are expected to see large temperature differences of around 15 degrees Celsius between day and night, so extra care should be taken to protect your health.

Skies will be mostly clear nationwide, but the east coast, south coast, and Jeju Island will see more clouds. Less than 5 millimeters of rain is expected along the southern east coast of North Gyeongsang Province.

Fine dust concentrations are expected to remain at 'good' levels in all regions.

Waves in the sea will range from 1.0 to 4.0 meters off the east coast, 0.5 to 2.5 meters off the west coast, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters off the south coast. In the offshore areas (within about 200 kilometers from the coastline), wave heights will be 1.5 to 5.0 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 3.5 meters in both the West Sea and South Sea.
