On Thursday the 2nd, the whole country will be mostly clear, but temperatures will drop sharply, making it colder than the previous day.

As of 7 a.m. that day, temperatures are Seoul -1.3°C, Incheon -0.5°C, Suwon -0.6°C, Chuncheon -5.3°C, Gangneung 0.5°C, Cheongju 0.4°C, Daejeon -1.4°C, Jeonju 0.1°C, Gwangju 1.9°C, Jeju 5.7°C, Daegu 1.6°C, Busan 2.3°C, Ulsan 1.7°C, Changwon 1.6°C, and so on.

The daytime high temperatures are forecasted to be between 5 and 10°C, which is 3 to 4 degrees lower than the previous day.

On Ulleungdo and Dokdo, 1 to 5 cm of snow or less than 0.5 mm of raindrops will fall until the morning.

The air nationwide is very dry and strong winds are blowing, so special caution is needed to prevent fires.

Due to smooth atmospheric dispersion, fine dust concentrations are expected to be at 'Good' to 'Moderate' levels across all regions.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea coastal waters, 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea coastal waters.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 1.5 to 4.0 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 4.0 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 4.0 meters in the South Sea.
