On Wednesday, the 28th, clear skies are expected across the country, but morning temperatures will drop below freezing, making it feel quite cold.
The morning low is forecasted to range from -2 to 7 degrees Celsius, while the daytime high will be between 11 and 16 degrees. Cold air moving south from the northwest is expected to cause a significant drop in morning temperatures, with most areas experiencing a decrease of 5 to 10 degrees compared to the previous day.
In particular, areas in northeastern Gyeonggi Province, inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon, parts of Chungbuk, and some southern inland areas will see morning temperatures fall below freezing. Additionally, strong winds will make it feel even colder.
The temperature difference between day and night will be quite large, ranging from 10 to 15 degrees in many inland areas. Residents are advised to take care of their health due to the rapid temperature changes and to wear warm coats. Frost is also expected in some inland regions.
Meanwhile, strong winds will lead to high waves. Until the morning, most areas will experience wind gusts of around 55 km/h (15 m/s).
In particular, the central and southern offshore waters of the West Sea, the eastern offshore waters of the South Sea, and the waters south of Jeju Island will see winds blowing at 30 to 60 km/h (8 to 16 m/s).
Waves in the East Sea are expected to reach heights of 1.0 to 3.5 meters, while in the West Sea, they will be between 0.5 and 3.0 meters, and in the South Sea, between 0.5 and 2.0 meters. Offshore waves (about 200 km from the coastline) are forecasted to reach 1.0 to 5.0 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 3.5 meters in the West Sea, and 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the South Sea.
On the East Coast, high waves caused by swells may crash strongly onto sandy beaches or even over rocks and breakwaters, so caution is advised when approaching coastal areas.
