Unseasonable Heat Rides Southeasterly Winds… Broken by Autumn Rain on Tuesday

Unseasonable heat continued today, the final day of the Hangeul Day holiday weekend.

This is due to the influx of relatively hot and humid southeasterly winds.

Today, Seoul recorded a daytime high of 29.6°C (85°F), marking the highest mid-October temperature since weather observations began, while areas such as Daejeon and Jeonju saw daytime highs exceeding 30°C (86°F).

The unseasonable heat is expected to break when autumn rain falls nationwide on Tuesday.

Showers are forecasted for tomorrow, mainly centered around the central inland regions.

The precipitation amount is expected to range from a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 10 mm. Due to the nature of showers, they can pour down suddenly, so you should make sure to bring a small umbrella with you.

Rain is expected to continue in the Jeju region until the day after tomorrow.

In particular, heavy rain is expected to pour down at a rate of around 10 to 20 mm per hour between early morning and morning tomorrow.

The atmosphere in the central inland regions will remain very dry until tomorrow.

Let us take a look at the morning temperatures.

Seoul will start with a morning low of 17°C (63°F) and Daejeon at 16°C (61°F), while daytime temperatures will reach 26°C (79°F) in Seoul and 28°C (82°F) in Daegu, bringing daytime heat tomorrow as well.

There is news of autumn rain nationwide on Tuesday, and after the autumn rain falls, cold air will move down from the north, making the weather turn sharply chilly.
