The weather agency said most of the regions across the country will hover within five degrees on Wednesday morning while some inland areas will fall below freezing. 

The wind chill temperature measuring what people actually feel while outside will be even lower, it said. 

Daytime highs will reach 15 to 20 degrees, with Seoul seeing its temperature recovering from four degrees in the morning to 17 degrees.
