(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Jung Yoon-joo reports that on Monday the 14th, the whole country will be generally cloudy with scattered snow or rain expected.
In the morning, snow dust less than 0.1cm or raindrops less than 0.1mm will fall in the Incheon and Gyeonggi west coast, northern Gyeonggi and northern inland Gangwon in the morning, northern Chungcheong from afternoon to night, and Seoul, Incheon, and western Gyeonggi at night.
The expected snowfall from the 13th to the 14th is about 1cm in eastern Gyeonggi, less than 1cm in Seoul, Incheon, and western Gyeonggi, 1 to 5cm in the inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon, around 1cm in Daejeon, Sejong, inland Chungnam, and Chungbuk, and about 1cm in eastern Jeonbuk.
The expected precipitation during the same period is around 1mm in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi, less than 5mm in the inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon, around 1mm in Daejeon, Sejong, inland Chungnam, and Chungbuk, and about 1mm in eastern Jeonbuk.
In northern and eastern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon, parts of central and northern Chungbuk, and northern inland and northeastern mountain areas of Gyeongbuk, the morning temperature will be around -12 degrees (around -15 degrees in some inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon) and very cold.
The highest daytime temperature is forecasted to be between 2 and 8 degrees.
Fine dust levels are expected to be ‘poor’ in Sejong and Chungbuk, and ‘moderate’ in other regions. However, temporarily ‘poor’ levels are expected in the capital area, Daejeon, and Chungnam in the morning and nighttime, and in Daegu and Gyeongbuk in the morning.
In the southern offshore areas of the East Sea, where a strong wind warning is in effect, wind will blow very strongly at 30 to 60 km/h (9 to 16 m/s) until morning, so vessels navigating or operating should be especially cautious.
Until the morning in the eastern coast of Gangwon and until the afternoon in the eastern coast of Gyeongsang, high waves caused by swells will reach rock and breakwater areas, so caution is advised against safety accidents at the seaside.
