Large Temperature Swings on Hangeul Day... Gyeongju Sees Late-Summer Heat Reaching 29°C

Large temperature swings continued today (the 9th), which is Hangeul Day.

Today, as our country came under the edge of a high-pressure system located over the East Sea, warm and humid south-easterly winds blew. Because of this, late-summer heat appeared nationwide, with daytime temperatures in Gyeongju rising close to 29°C (84°F).

Tomorrow, as these south-easterly winds combine with an upper-level trough, rain will fall mainly centered around the southern regions and Jeju Island.

The rain is expected to start in Jeju tomorrow morning and continue until the day after tomorrow.

There will be large variations in precipitation depending on the region, and it will experience lulls in some places.

Looking at the expected amount of rainfall for tomorrow first, 5 to 10 mm of rain is expected in the southern regions, and 5 up to a maximum of 40 mm is expected in Jeju until the day after tomorrow. On Sunday, the day after tomorrow, the rain will expand to southern Gangwon and parts of the Chungcheong regions.

As for the amount of autumn rain, it will range from a low of 5 mm to as much as 20 mm in the Yeongnam region.

Meanwhile, the central regions, where there is no news of rain, will remain clear tomorrow with very dry atmospheric conditions, so caution against fires will be necessary.

Morning temperatures will start slightly higher than today, with Seoul at 14°C (57°F) and Daegu at 14°C (57°F). Daytime temperatures will rise to 26°C (79°F) in Seoul and 28°C (82°F) in Daegu, making it somewhat hot during the day tomorrow as well.

For the time being, temperatures will significantly exceed typical seasonal averages by about 3 to 5°C.

Rain is expected between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning of next week, after which the weather will turn chilly again starting Wednesday.
