Be careful of icy roads and frozen pavement caused by the snow that fell the previous day.

 

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the nationwide morning low temperatures will range from -12°C to 1°C, and the daytime high temperatures will range from 0°C to 8°C, which are similar to or lower than average.

 

The minimum and maximum temperatures in major regions are predicted as follows: Seoul -6 to 2°C, Incheon -6 to 1°C, Suwon -8 to 2°C, Chuncheon below -11 to 2°C, Gangneung below -3 to 5°C, Cheongju -5 to 3°C, Daejeon -6 to 4°C, Sejong -5 to 3°C, Jeonju -4 to 4°C, Gwangju -2 to 4°C, Daegu -4 to 6°C, Busan -3 to 7°C, Ulsan -3 to 6°C, Changwon -3 to 6°C, Jeju 4 to 7°C.
