Fine dust levels will be 'bad' in Seoul, southern Gyeonggi, Daejeon, and Sejong, while other regions will experience 'moderate' levels.

However, Incheon, northern Gyeonggi, North Chungcheong, South Chungcheong, Gwangju, Busan, Daegu, and Jeju are expected to temporarily experience 'bad' levels in the morning.

Dense fog with visibility under 200 meters is expected mainly in western areas and along the southern coast until the morning, and other regions may experience fog with visibility under 1 kilometer, so caution is advised for traffic safety.

With dry weather warnings in effect for Gangwon Yeongdong, the Gyeongsang region, and parts of North Chungcheong, the atmosphere will be very dry, and other areas will also experience dry conditions, so special attention should be paid to fire prevention.
