Large Temperature Swings Continue Today; Daytime Heat Expected During Hangeul Day Long Weekend

Many of you likely took out thick outer layers due to the suddenly chilly weather.

However, as clear skies allow daytime temperatures to rise significantly, you should remain mindful of the wide temperature gaps again today (Oct. 7).

Seoul will start the morning at 10°C (50°F) and climb up to 24°C (75°F) in the afternoon, resulting in a temperature difference of 14°C, while Cheorwon will see an even larger gap of a whopping 20°C.

With weather conditions shifting between two seasons in a single day, you will need to pay special attention to your health.

Overnight, clear skies will intensify radiation cooling effects, leading to dense fog mainly concentrated in the mountainous and inland areas of Gangwon Province.

There will also be places where frost forms or water freezes.

Today's morning lows will drop to 1°C (34°F) in Taebaek, while Seoul will be as chilly as yesterday at 10°C (50°F).

Daytime highs are expected to reach 24°C (75°F) in Seoul and 25°C (77°F) in Gwangju, which is slightly higher than yesterday.

While generally clear weather will continue for the time being, the upcoming Hangeul Day long weekend will feature daytime temperatures in Seoul climbing up to 27°C (81°F) on Sunday, making it feel somewhat hot during the day.
