On the 6th, known as Gyeongchip when frogs wake up from hibernation, the whole country will experience clear and mild weather.

As of 7 a.m. that day, temperatures in major areas are Seoul 2.3°C, Incheon 3.0°C, Suwon -1.6°C, Chuncheon -4.5°C, Gangneung 7.7°C, Cheongju 1.2°C, Daejeon -0.3°C, Jeonju 2.0°C, Gwangju 2.6°C, Jeju 7.5°C, Daegu 2.0°C, Busan 8.2°C, Ulsan 4.7°C, Changwon 4.5°C, and others.

The daytime high temperature is forecasted to be between 13 and 21 degrees Celsius. Seoul is expected to have a daytime high of 16 degrees Celsius.

The temperature difference between day and night will be very large, exceeding 15 degrees, so caution is advised for health management during the changing seasons.

Most central regions and some southern areas are expected to have high concentrations of fine dust due to residual particles from the previous day accumulating because of stagnant air and converging air currents.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'bad' in the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungbuk, and Jeonbuk, while other regions are expected to be at 'moderate' levels.

Gangwon Yeongdong, Chungnam, Gwangju, Jeonnam, Daegu, and Gyeongbuk are expected to have 'bad' levels in the morning.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the East Sea and South Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the West Sea coastal waters.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the South Sea.
