This Autumn's Lowest Temperatures Hit; Rain Expected Nationwide Tomorrow

Did you bundle up warmly today?

This morning, the temperature in Seoul dropped to 3.7°C (39°F), with the wind chill plunging below freezing. Eunpyeong-gu in Seoul recorded its first sub-zero temperature of this autumn, making it the coldest morning so far this season.

With the sudden cold snap arriving at the tail end of October, it must have felt quite biting.

What brought this cold weather is a pressure trough in the upper atmosphere.

What you are seeing is a weather map of the upper atmosphere approximately 5 kilometers above our country.

The upper-level pressure trough is pulling cold air down into the country.

For the time being, a pressure trough carrying cold air will continue to circulate and affect the country sequentially.

As a result, temperatures will rise slightly the day after tomorrow, but starting this weekend, temperatures will drop again, keeping the weather colder than average for a while.

You will need to dress warmly.

Tomorrow, rain is also forecast for the central regions.

Rain will begin in the afternoon and move to the southern regions by the early hours of the following day, continuing until morning.

Precipitation will not be heavy, ranging from 5 to 20 millimeters.

Tomorrow morning's temperatures will be 5°C (41°F) in Seoul and 3°C (37°F) in Daegu, remaining as cold as today. Daytime temperatures will also stay below normal and feel chilly, with Seoul reaching 14°C (57°F) and Gwangju 16°C (61°F).

Another round of rain is forecast nationwide for Sunday.

In the southern regions, the rain will continue until Monday morning next week.
