Rain Nationwide on Sunday; Fall Foliage Peaks at Mt. Seorak

The colors of autumn are deepening.

Foliage at Mt. Seorak reached its peak today.

Tomorrow, Saturday, will be mostly clear under the influence of a high-pressure system located over the East Sea, making outdoor activities manageable as long as you take precautions against the large temperature differences.

However, the day after tomorrow on Sunday, rain will fall nationwide due to a low-pressure system approaching from the west.

As cold air pushes up the relatively warm air positioned over the Korean Peninsula, rain clouds will develop strongly, and the amount of precipitation will be quite substantial for autumn rain.

The rain will begin in the Seoul metropolitan area early Sunday morning.

As you can see, strong rain clouds will pour heavy rain of 20 to 30 millimeters per hour in the central regions during the day.

By evening, the rain clouds will move toward the southern regions.

Looking at the expected rainfall amounts, heavy downpours are expected with up to 80 mm in the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungcheong provinces, up to 70 mm in the inland regions of Gangwon, and up to 60 mm in Jeonbuk. Since the rain may be accompanied by gusts of wind, thunder, and lightning, special caution must be taken to prevent safety accidents.

Tomorrow, the entire country will be clear before gradually turning cloudy from the night, and winds will blow somewhat strongly starting from the afternoon.

Tomorrow morning's temperatures will start at 13°C (55°F) in Seoul, with daytime highs reaching 25°C (77°F) and Jeonju at 27°C (81°F), so you will need to watch out for large temperature ranges tomorrow.

The rain on Sunday will stop in the central regions by night, but will continue until Monday morning in the southern regions. Furthermore, another round of rain is forecasted for the southern regions starting Tuesday afternoon.
