There may be light snow less than 0.1 cm in the morning on the western coast of Jeolla and the mountainous areas of Jeju Island. Morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between -18 and -2 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs between -3 and 7 degrees Celsius.

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

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