Rain Hits Final Weekend of Long Holiday, Chilly Weather Next Week
The final weekend of the extended holiday period is expected to bring rain, continuing into the following week. Forecasts indicate lower temperatures next weekend, prompting a need for health considerations.
Weather Forecast for the Coming Days
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the nation is currently impacted by a high-pressure system near Shanghai, China, while a series of periodic pressure troughs are moving from the north. This situation has led to cloudy conditions and frequent rain, especially in central regions.
Rainfall Predictions

- Forecasted precipitation:
- Northern Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon: 20-60 mm

More rainfall is anticipated on October 13th, primarily in central areas, and nationwide rain is expected on October 14th. There may be heavy rain advisories as cool air mingles with moisture in central regions.
Long-Term Weather Outlook
The southern provinces are likely to experience rain until October 15th, while Gangwon Yeongdong may see precipitation continue until October 16th. The high-pressure system currently in the southern part of the country is expected to recede around October 17th. This will lead to fluctuating air pressure patterns.
