Chilly Weather, Big Temperature Swings With Rain in Central Regions

Starting tomorrow, October 1, the first day of October, the weather will turn noticeably chilly.

This is because cold air from the north is moving in along the rear of the trough currently bringing rain to the central regions.

Additionally, tomorrow, as a high-pressure system visible over China expands its influence toward the Korean Peninsula, the pressure gradient force between the high and low-pressure systems will strengthen, causing strong winds as well.

Centered around the central regions shaded in purple and white on the map, morning temperatures tomorrow are expected to drop to around 10°C (50°F).

Seoul will start the morning at 12°C (54°F) and Hongcheon at 10°C (50°F), dropping significantly by around 5°C compared to today.

As we enter October, the lingering late-summer heat during the day will also subside.

While today's daytime high in Seoul rose close to 28°C (82°F) and felt somewhat warm, tomorrow's maximum temperature will stall at 20°C (68°F), and with strong winds, the apparent temperature will linger at 18°C (64°F).

You will need to dress warmly.

The rain currently falling in the central and Jeonbuk regions will stop completely overnight, and skies nationwide will clear up tomorrow.

Morning lows will be 12°C (54°F) in Seoul and 16°C (61°F) in Gwangju, similar to today in the southern regions, but daytime highs will stop at 20°C (68°F) in Seoul and 23°C (73°F) in Gwangju and Jeonju, dropping by 5 to 8°C compared to today.

Rain is forecasted starting Sunday night in Incheon, northern Gyeonggi Province, and northern Gangwon Province, continuing until Monday morning centering around the central regions.

As large temperature swings will continue for the time being, you should take good care of your health.
