[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Heo Midam] On Wednesday (the 15th), the nation will be mostly clear, but subzero cold will continue mainly in inland areas.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the country will be mostly clear due to the influence of high pressure located near the Shandong Peninsula in China. However, the western coasts of Chungnam and Jeolla, as well as the eastern coast of Gangwon, are expected to have occasional clouds.

Additionally, the northern eastern coast of Gangwon may experience snow flurries from dawn to morning due to easterly winds.

The morning low temperatures are expected to be △Seoul -6°C △Daejeon -5°C △Daegu -3°C △Busan -1°C △Jeonju -3°C △Gwangju -2°C △Cheongju -4°C △Chuncheon -8°C △Gangneung -1°C △Jeju 5°C △Ulleungdo and Dokdo 1°C.

The daytime high temperatures are expected to be △Seoul 2°C △Daejeon 4°C △Daegu 6°C △Busan 8°C △Jeonju 4°C △Gwangju 5°C △Cheongju 3°C △Chuncheon 4°C △Gangneung 7°C △Jeju 8°C △Ulleungdo and Dokdo 4°C.

Fine dust levels will range from 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.
