We will tell you about the fog situation previously announced by the Meteorological Agency as of 9:10 am.

Some areas in the metropolitan area and Chungcheong area inland of Gangwon have fogs with a visibility of less than 200m, and fog with a visibility of less than 1km has occurred in other inland areas.

Looking at the visibility by region, in the metropolitan area, Incheon Yeongjongdo 40m, Hwaseong Unpyeong 130m, Gangwon-do in Yanggu 60m, Chuncheon Namsan 150m, Chungcheong area Buyeo 60m, Nonsan Yeonmu 60m, Seocheon 70m, Hongseong 90m, etc.

Particularly, due to the influence of sea fog from the west sea, thick fog is expected to continue until around 12:00 noon on the central west coast.

There may be sections where the visibility distance is very short from Seohae Bridge, Yeongjong Bridge, and Incheon Bridge, so those who pass by here should be careful of safety.

Flight disruption is also expected due to heavy fog.

As of 9 o’clock earlier, five flights from overseas were unable to get off at Incheon Airport due to fog and landed at Gimpo Airport, Cheongju, and Jeju Airport.

At Incheon Airport, the second phase of low-visibility operation is in effect from 2:40 am.

This action is taken if the runway visibility is less than 550m.

In Phase 2 of Low Visibility, not all aircraft are restricted from landing, but take-off and landing may be restricted depending on aircraft class or pilot capabilities, the airport explained.

Sea road conditions are also affected by thick fog and bad weather.

According to the Incheon Port Operation Management Center, the visibility of the offshore of Incheon at 9am is less than 300m.

In addition, high waves and strong winds are blowing due to preliminary weather warnings in the far sea of ​​Incheon.

As a result, the operation of four passenger ships on four routes from Incheon to Baengnyeongdo and from Sammok to Yeongjongdo to Jangbong was controlled.

In addition, 10 passenger ships on the remaining eight routes, including Yeonpyeong Island from Incheon and Deokjeok Island from Incheon, will also be waiting for the fog to clear.

The Incheon Port Operation Management Center advised,’For some routes, passengers should contact the shipping company first as it may resume operation of passenger ships when the fog clears.

So far, the Ministry of Social Affairs has delivered it.
