The KMA advises that morning temperatures are expected to range from -5 to 6 degrees Celsius, while daytime highs will be between -3 and 10 degrees Celsius.
Although morning lows are anticipated to be somewhat higher than average (-11 to 0 degrees Celsius), the daytime temperatures are forecasted to be lower than the seasonal norm (1 to 8 degrees Celsius). The weather is expected to get even colder over the next few days, making it crucial to dress warmly.

The air quality across the regions is expected to be in the “good” to “moderate” levels. However, due to atmospheric stagnation, Chungcheong may experience poor air quality until early morning, while Honam and parts of Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam may see similar conditions until the morning.
Regarding sea conditions, wave heights are forecasted to be:
- East Sea: 0.5 to 2.0 meters
