Daytime highs will rebound slightly to minus 2 to 9 C by midday, but still colder than average December temperatures.

Dry air advisories are in effect in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Gyeongsang and North Chungcheong Provinces, meaning critical fire weather conditions could occur in the regions.

Clear skies will be seen nationwide, but the weather will become mostly cloudy by night.

As the strong cold snaps are expected to continue into Friday morning, the Korea Meteorological Administration advised elders and kids to stay indoors and stay warm.
