Rain is also forecasted to fall in central regions, including Seoul, from the night of Chuseok day until early Saturday morning.
On Saturday, rain is forecasted mainly centered around the southern regions and Jeju.
However, the precipitation amounts are not expected to be large.
Meanwhile, with cloudy skies this Chuseok, it is expected to be somewhat difficult to see the full moon.
Today is the Autumn Equinox, a seasonal term meaning the lengths of day and night become equal.
