Chusok Holiday Brings Rain Nationwide; Full Moon Viewing Unlikely

Are you having a good Chusok holiday?

As you can see, the skies were filled with clouds today (the 24th), the first day of the holiday.

Tomorrow, on Chusok, this thick gray rain cloud band visible near the Shandong Peninsula in China will gradually approach, bringing rain to the central regions starting late afternoon, which will then expand nationwide overnight.

Meanwhile, due to the influence of easterly winds, the mid-northern parts of Gangwon Yeongdong will also experience rain from late tonight through tomorrow morning.

With overcast skies this Chusok, it will be somewhat difficult to view the Chusok full moon in most regions.

Looking at the expected rainfall for tomorrow and the day after, most areas will see a relatively small amount of 5 to 20 mm.

However, Jeju will receive up to 80 mm and the southern coast of Jeollanam-do up to 60 mm, which is quite a significant amount for autumn rain.

You must exercise special caution for traffic safety on your return trip.

This rain will stop in the central regions by early Saturday, but will continue until Saturday afternoon in the southern regions and until evening in Jeju.

On the last day of the holiday, rain is forecasted only for Jeju.

Skies across the rest of the country will be mostly clear.

Let's look at tomorrow morning's temperatures.

Seoul will see a low of 20°C (68°F), not dropping drastically.

Due to cloudy skies during the day as well, temperatures in Seoul and Busan will reach 27°C (81°F) and Gwangju 28°C (82°F), slightly lower than today.

Temperatures will gradually drop heading into next week.

From the middle of the week onward, the weather is expected to turn noticeably chilly.
