Mild Weather Until Thursday, Cold Snap Returns Friday
In the coming days, mild temperatures will prevail across the region until Thursday. However, a stark cold snap is expected to hit on Friday, dropping temperatures significantly.
Mild Weather Expected Until Thursday
Currently, the cold wave that has gripped the area is receding. While temperatures remain low, they are expected to rise slightly, creating a more tolerable environment. According to meteorological reports, the lowest temperature in Seoul should hover around 0 degrees Celsius, with daytime highs reaching 7 degrees.
Regional Temperature Variations
- Seoul: Nighttime lows near 0°C; daytime highs around 7°C
- Gwangju and Daegu: Anticipated highs exceeding 10°C
This warming trend is attributed to a warm southwesterly wind originating from a high-pressure system located south of Jeju Island. Temperatures across the country are showing a slight upward trend leading into Thursday, making this week milder than usual for this time of year.
Cold Snap Returns on Friday
However, the outlook changes drastically on Friday. A cold front moving in from the north will bring temperatures back down to near -10 degrees Celsius. Meteorologists warn of significant wind chill, potentially leading to a severe cold experience.
Warnings for the Eastern Regions
The eastern areas will face a dual challenge of dry conditions and strong winds, escalating the risk of wildfires. A dry warning and advisories are in effect for regions including:
- Gangwon’s eastern coastline
- Yeongnam region
Authorities urge residents to remain vigilant and take precautions against possible fires. The upcoming cold snap and dry conditions pose a serious threat, particularly in these sensitive areas.
Stay tuned for updates as conditions develop and ensure preparation for the upcoming changes in weather. This mild weather will soon be replaced by a significant drop in temperatures, necessitating caution and awareness.
