Daytime highs will range from 10 to 15 degrees, which is higher than in previous years. In the central region, the Jeolla region, and inland areas of North Gyeongsang Province, the temperature difference between day and night will widen significantly to more than 15 degrees. As the daily temperature range will be large, people should take care of their health to avoid colds.

In some areas of the southern mountains of Gangwon Province and the northeastern part of North Jeolla Province, snow has not yet melted, so icy patches and thin ice may have formed on the roads overnight. Drivers should pay attention to traffic safety.

Skies across the country will be mostly clear but will gradually become cloudy from the morning. The east coast of Gangwon Province, the Gyeongsang region, and Jeju Island will be mostly cloudy. Some parts of Jeju Island will see around 5 millimeters of rain starting in the morning. In the northern mountains and east coast of Gangwon Province, snow or rain will fall from late at night. Until the morning, dense fog with visibility of less than 200 meters will form in the mountainous areas of Gangwon Province and the Jeolla region, and other inland areas will also see fog with visibility of less than 1 kilometer in some places.

Some parts of the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province are under dry weather advisories. As winds will also blow somewhat strongly, people should be careful to prevent forest fires.

Fine dust concentrations will remain at "good" to "moderate" levels in all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.
