As temperatures in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions continue to drop below freezing, the difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures is widening significantly, reaching around 10 degrees Celsius.

According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on January 5, the morning low on the 6th is expected to fall to around -6 degrees Celsius across Gwangju and the entire Jeonnam area. The daytime high is forecasted to reach 5 to 9 degrees Celsius, resulting in a very large temperature swing.

In particular, dry atmospheric conditions are intensifying. As of the afternoon of January 5, a dry weather advisory is in effect mainly for the eastern parts of Jeonnam, including Yeosu, Gwangyang, and Suncheon, and the atmosphere is gradually becoming drier in other areas as well.

Advisories have also been issued for maritime and coastal areas. From the afternoon of the 6th, strong winds of 32 to 54 kilometers per hour and waves as high as 1.5 to 3.5 meters are expected in the southern offshore waters of the West Sea, making it highly likely that a high seas warning will be announced, according to a meteorological official. In addition, along the Jeonnam coastline, the gravitational pull of the moon will cause higher sea levels, so precautions should be taken to prevent flooding in low-lying areas during high tide.

A meteorological official stated, "Please pay special attention to health management due to the large temperature swings, fire prevention in the dry atmosphere, and safety accidents along the coast."
