The weather will be mostly clear nationwide, but there is a possibility of light snow less than 0.1 cm falling in the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon from dawn to morning.

Fine dust from the previous day will remain, and starting from the west in the daytime, fine dust from abroad will be introduced, resulting in fine dust levels being 'Bad' in the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungnam, and Honam regions, while other areas are expected to have 'Moderate' levels.

Busan and Gyeongnam will see deterioration to 'Bad' levels from the afternoon, and Gangwon Yeongseo, Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungbuk will experience 'Bad' levels from nighttime.

Strong gusts of wind exceeding 25 m/s are expected from the afternoon in the mountainous areas of Gangwon and northeastern mountainous areas of Gyeongbuk, and winds exceeding 20 m/s are expected along the eastern coasts of Gangwon and northern Gyeongbuk.

Other regions will also experience strong winds with gusts around 15 m/s (around 20 m/s in the mountainous areas of Jeju), so caution is needed for facility management and safety accidents.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the near seas of the East and West Seas, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the near seas of the South Sea. In the open seas, waves will be 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea, 1.0 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea.
