The sky and breeze carry a distinct, refreshing touch of early autumn.
Clear and cool weather is expected to continue through this weekend, while the east coast and Jeju will remain cloudy with rain.
Meanwhile, Typhoon Kropan, currently located in the sea south of Japan, is blocked by a high-pressure system and will not move any further north.
As a result, while there will be no direct impact on the country, strong easterly winds are expected to blow for the time being as the pressure gradient force strengthens between the typhoon, or low pressure, and the high-pressure system.
Accordingly, high wave advisories are in effect mainly for the East and South Seas, while gale advisories have been issued for the southern coast, parts of the Yeongnam coast, and Jeju.
It is advised to refrain from approaching coastal areas for the time being, and vigilance is required regarding facility inspections and safety accidents as sudden, strong gusts of wind may occur in other parts of the country as well.
Rain is forecasted for the east coast and Jeju over the weekend.
Tomorrow (September 5), rain will fall only in mountainous areas, while the day after tomorrow, 5 to 10 mm of rain is expected in the east coast and parts of Gyeongnam, and up to 60 mm of relatively heavy rain in Jeju.
Tomorrow morning temperatures will also be cool at around 20°C (68°F).
Daytime highs will reach 29°C (84°F) in Seoul and 27°C (81°F) in Chungju, similar to or slightly lower than today.
Inland areas will experience clear weather for the time being, and due to the influence of easterly winds, rain will continue for a prolonged period along the east coast and Jeju until early next week.
