[Weather] Frigid morning turns much milder this afternoon

Frigid air continues in central regions, Gangwon-do Province is seeing lows below minus 10 to even minus 15 degrees Celsius.

Icy roads out there for central regions and Jeollabuk-do Province. Please drive and walk with care.

However, afternoon highs will rise rapidly to way above norms. Temperatures will go up further over the weekend.

Next Monday marks Daehan, the last winter seasonal term so we should be having the coldest time of the year but temperatures have been rather generous and should stay above norms through next week and likely into the Seollal holiday.

Checking on today's highs now, Seoul gets up to 5 degrees, Daegu at 8 degrees under sunny skies. Air quality will be normal in most parts except in Sejong during the morning.

A dry weather advisory remains in place for the East Coast. Hikers should take extra caution against wildfires.

That's Korea for you, here's a look at the international weather conditions.
