[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] On Thursday the 2nd, morning temperatures will drop sharply by about 5 to 10 degrees compared to the previous day due to cold air moving south overnight.

The wind will also blow somewhat strongly, making the perceived temperature 2 to 6 degrees lower than the actual temperature.

As of 7 a.m. that day, temperatures are Seoul -4.8°C, Incheon -4.9°C, Suwon -4.8°C, Chuncheon -10.4°C, Gangneung -3.0°C, Cheongju -3.6°C, Daejeon -4.7°C, Jeonju -3.5°C, Gwangju -2.2°C, Jeju 3.6°C, Daegu -1.5°C, Busan 0.2°C, Ulsan -1.2°C, Changwon -1.4°C, etc.

The forecasted daytime high temperatures range from 1 to 9 degrees Celsius, with Seoul expected to reach a high of 2°C.

Fine dust levels are expected to be between 'Good' and 'Moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea and South Sea coastal waters.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 4.0 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 3.0 meters in the South Sea.
