[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Temperatures that had briefly risen are expected to drop again tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, temperatures will fall below 5 degrees Celsius in inland areas.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 19th, due to the influence of cold northwesterly winds, morning temperatures will be 4 to 7 degrees lower than the previous day, with inland areas expected to fall below 5 degrees Celsius. Some places in northern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and eastern Jeonbuk may drop below 0 degrees Celsius.

The morning low temperature is forecast to be between 1 and 9 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 13 and 18 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions.

Along the East Coast, strong swells will continue to flow in until the afternoon, causing very high waves to strongly push onto sandy beaches or overflow rocks, breakwaters, and coastal roads in some areas. Strong winds will blow along the West Coast of Chungnam, the West Coast of Jeolla, Jeju Island, the South Coast of Jeonnam, and the East Coast.

Sea waves are expected to be 1.0 to 5.0 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 3.0 meters in the South Sea coastal waters.
