Clear Skies and Mild Weather Nationwide, Frequent Rain on East Coast

Today, the weather across the country is predominantly clear, with typical autumn temperatures for this time of year. However, the East Coast is experiencing rainfall due to easterly winds, necessitating caution for potential rain-related impacts.

Weather Overview

The mild autumn conditions will persist today, with daytime temperatures expected to reach around 20 degrees Celsius. The pleasant weather may be interrupted by rain, particularly along the East Coast.

Regional Rainfall Forecast

Rain is anticipated to continue until early tomorrow morning. The forecast predicts significant rainfall amounts:

  • Up to 60 mm on the eastern coast of North Gyeongsang Province.
  • Up to 50 mm on the eastern coast of Gangwon Province.

These weather patterns are particularly critical for Gangneung, which has already faced severe drought. This October, the city has recorded over 20 days of rainfall, marking the highest number of rainy days since weather observations began in October.

Coastal Conditions

Strong winds are expected along the coastal regions, which may lead to high waves. Residents in low-lying areas should remain vigilant to avoid flood damage.

Temperature Highlights

In urban areas, daytime temperatures are as follows:

  • Seoul: 20 degrees Celsius
  • Daejeon and Cheongju: 21 degrees Celsius
  • Gwangju and Jeonju: 22 degrees Celsius

While the afternoon will be mild, temperatures are likely to drop sharply in the evening, so dressing appropriately is advised.

Upcoming Weather Changes

Tomorrow will continue to offer settled autumn weather. However, starting Sunday, colder air from the north will make its way into the region.

This trend will lead to a significant drop in temperatures, with early morning readings in Seoul potentially plummeting to around 2 degrees Celsius on Tuesday. This could be the coldest day of the autumn season.

Additionally, there are forecasts of cold wave advisories, especially in the mountainous areas of Gangwon Province. It is essential to prioritize health and safety during this transition.
