Frosty 'Sanggang' Solar Term Sees Mild Afternoon; Rain in Jeju and Southern Coast

It was cold until this morning (October 23) for Sanggang, the solar term when frost forms, but the chill has eased starting this afternoon.

This is because warm southerly winds are flowing in along the edge of a high-pressure system located over the East Sea.

Meanwhile, as large amounts of moisture are also being channeled from the south along with these southerly winds, rain is currently falling in parts of Jeju and the southern regions.

Tomorrow, the rain will expand to other southern regions, the Chungcheong provinces, and the Gangwon Yeongdong area.

Heavy rain is expected in Jeju, South Jeolla Province, and South Gyeongsang Province tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

More than 250 mm of rain is forecasted for mountainous areas of Jeju, over 100 mm for the southern coast of South Gyeongsang Province, and over 80 mm for the southern coast of South Jeolla Province.

In particular, strong downpours of 20 to 30 mm per hour are expected in Jeju until tomorrow morning and again from early dawn to morning the day after tomorrow, and along the southern coast from tomorrow morning to late afternoon, requiring caution.

Winds will also blow very strongly along the southern coast and in Jeju tomorrow.

The central regions will only have cloudy skies, and since the cloud cover will act like a blanket overnight, tomorrow morning will not be significantly cold.

Seoul's morning low will be 13°C (55°F), about 6°C higher than today, and daytime temperatures in Seoul will rise significantly to 21°C (70°F).

Relatively mild autumn weather is expected to continue under the influence of warm southerly winds until next Monday, while temperatures are forecasted to drop again starting Tuesday afternoon, bringing Seoul's morning low down to 2°C (36°F) on Wednesday.
