On the 22nd, Gwangju and Jeonnam will remain mostly cloudy, and as with the previous day, both fine dust and ultrafine dust levels are expected to be 'bad', so it is advised to wear a mask when going outside.

On this day, Gwangju and Jeonnam will be located on the edge of a high-pressure system moving eastward over the South Sea.

Morning low temperatures are expected to be -4 degrees Celsius in Jangheung, -3 degrees in Boseong, Yeongam, Haenam, and Gokseong, -2 degrees in Yeonggwang, Jangseong, Damyang, Hampyeong, Muan, Naju, Hwasun, Suncheon, and Gangjin, 1 degree in Gwangju, Jindo, and Gurye, 0 degrees in Gwangyang and Wando, 1 degree in Mokpo, and 2 degrees in Shinan.

An official from the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration said, "As the atmosphere remains dry, especially in eastern Jeonnam, and the wind is slightly strong, even a small spark could develop into a large fire. Please take extra care to prevent wildfires and other types of fires."
