Between early dawn and 9 a.m. today, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters is expected mainly in the central inland and northern inland areas of Gyeongbuk, and other inland areas may also experience fog with visibility less than 1 km.

The temperature difference between day and night will be large, so health care should be taken. The morning low temperatures by region are forecasted as △Seoul 10°C △Chuncheon 9°C △Gangneung 13°C △Daejeon 10°C △Cheongju 11°C △Daegu 11°C △Busan 13°C △Jeonju 10°C △Gwangju 11°C △Jeju 16°C △Ulleungdo·Dokdo 14°C.

Fine dust concentration will be 'bad' in Chungbuk and 'normal' in other regions. However, due to the influx of foreign fine dust, the metropolitan area, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, and Gangwon regions may temporarily experience 'bad' levels in the morning, and the Yeongnam region may see 'bad' levels at night.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "The atmosphere is very dry in Gangwon Yeongdong and the mountainous areas of Jeju Island, so fire prevention should be carefully observed. Strong winds and high waves are expected in the offshore areas of the West Sea, so ships navigating or fishing should exercise caution."
