This year’s Lunar New Year holiday is expected to be followed by a warm day with temperatures of around 10 degrees Celsius. On the 11th, the first day of the holiday, heavy fog may form in the interior of the central part of the country, so traffic safety needs special attention.

The Meteorological Administration predicted that between tonight and tomorrow morning, a thick fog with a visibility distance of 200m or less would occur on the west coast, the central inland, and northern Gyeongsangbuk-do. In particular, from the dawn of the 11th to the morning, there may be places with very thick fog with a visibility distance of less than 10m.

Other inland areas are expected to have fog with a visibility of less than 1km, but in areas close to lakes or rivers with a lot of water vapor, thick fog with a visibility of less than 200m is forecast.

Mist coming in from the sea is very thick and takes a long time to disperse, so there are many places where mist (light fog) or haze (a phenomenon where fine particles such as smoke and dust are floating in the atmosphere when the humidity is relatively low, appear to be cloudy) is likely to occur in many places. to be.

The Meteorological Administration predicted that in the central region (excluding Yeongdong, Gangwon) and inland northern Gyeongbuk, the temperature drops below zero during the night and the water vapor in the thick fog freezes on the road. In addition, on △bridges, △tunnel entrances and exits, △passages, etc., they asked to be careful not to cause damage such as a collision by maintaining a sufficient distance between vehicles and driving at a reduced speed.

The warm weather is expected to continue in most parts of the country during the holiday season. The daytime temperature is around 10 degrees Celsius, which is 3 to 5 degrees higher than normal, and especially in the southern regions, it will rise to around 15 degrees. However, in the inland region, the temperature difference between day and night is expected to increase by more than 10 degrees as the morning minimum temperature drops below 0 degrees.

The lowest temperature in the morning of the 11th is 5 to 2 degrees below zero, the highest temperature in the daytime is 8 to 15 degrees, the lowest temperature in the morning of the 12th is 4 to 5 degrees below zero, and the highest temperature in the daytime is expected to be 8 to 18 degrees.

The atmosphere is very dry in Yeongdong, Gangwon, where the drying warning took effect, and some of the Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam, and eastern Jeollanam-do areas. In particular, in Yeongdong, Gangwon-do, a small ember can easily lead to a large fire when the wind blows strongly. Therefore, special attention is needed to prevent fires such as forest fires, the Meteorological Administration said.
