The morning temperature in Seoul was 0.7 degrees today, about 4 degrees higher than usual.

However, tomorrow morning, the temperature is expected to be 7 degrees lower than today as Seoul drops to minus 6 degrees Celsius.

In the central inland, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk inland, the morning temperature is expected to be around minus 10 degrees Celsius, with a significant decrease of 5 to 10 degrees Celsius from today.

In particular, cold winds are expected to blow strongly across the country tomorrow, so the wind chill will be lower, and some places will reach minus 11 degrees Celsius in Seoul and minus 20 degrees Celsius in the central and northern regions.

The cold will ease for a while by recovering to normal temperatures in the middle of the week, but the temperature will drop again after that, and the extreme cold is expected to come around the weekend.
