On Thursday the 13th, strong winds will blow mainly in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon Province until the afternoon.

The sky will be clear nationwide but clouds will gradually increase from the afternoon.

The morning low temperatures will range from 0 to 11 degrees Celsius, with many places dropping below 5 degrees, making it generally chilly. Some inland areas of the central region, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk may see temperatures fall below 0 degrees.

The daytime high temperatures are forecasted to be between 17 and 25 degrees Celsius.

Temperature differences between day and night will be very large, exceeding 15 degrees, especially inland.

Also, frost will form and ice may freeze in some areas from dawn to morning, so caution is needed to prevent cold damage to crops.

Fine dust levels will be 'very bad' across all regions due to yellow dust inflow from the West Sea.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea and South Sea nearshore.

Wave heights in the offshore seas (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea and South Sea.
