Abrupt temperature changes can weaken immunity, leading to colds and respiratory illnesses. The elderly, in particular, should be extra cautious in regulating their body temperature. Before going out, it's important to layer thin outerwear or cardigans to maintain a consistent body temperature.
| Estimated Temperature | Recommended Outfit | Key Point |
|---|---|---|
| ~5℃ | Padded jacket, thick coat, scarf, gloves, fleece-lined pants, thermal underwear | (Today's weather!) It's a severe cold comparable to early winter. A thick outer garment that fully covers the body is essential, and a scarf or gloves should be worn to prevent heat loss. For bottoms, wear fleece-lined pants or thermal underwear to protect body heat. |
| 6~9℃ | Trench coat, parka, leather jacket, Heattech, knitwear, jeans, cotton pants | Outerwear is essential, and it's good to wear warm inner layers like knitwear or Heattech. |
| 10~16℃ | Jacket, cardigan, knitwear, sweatshirt, hoodie, thin jacket, cotton pants, jeans, skirt | It's a chilly temperature. Outerwear is a must, and rather than thick knitwear, thin knitwear or a sweatshirt suitable for layering is better. |
| 17~19℃ | Thin knitwear, cardigan, sweatshirt, hoodie, shirt, long pants | It's pleasant weather for activities, but it can be chilly in the mornings and evenings, so it's good to bring a light outer garment. |

- Maintain Body Temperature: Use a 'layered look' with several thin garments to adapt flexibly to temperature changes, and protect areas prone to heat loss (neck, hands, head) with scarves, gloves, and hats when going out.
- Adequate Hydration: To prevent respiratory illnesses in dry weather, it's good to drink warm water or tea frequently.
- Maintain Proper Humidity: Keep indoor humidity between 40-60% to prevent the respiratory mucous membranes from drying out.
- Regular Lifestyle: Strengthen your immunity with sufficient sleep and a balanced diet.
- Caution for Frost and Ice: Be especially careful with agricultural products and facilities, and with traffic safety on your commute, as frost and ice are expected in inland areas and mountains of Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungcheong, and eastern Jeonbuk.
