Weather: Showers Expected in Central Regions; Caution Advised for Gusts, Lightning, and Hail

The unseasonably cool weather makes it feel as if the season has briefly returned to spring.

With cold air hovering about 5km above the Korean Peninsula, it will not be significantly hot during the day today (June 11). However, as the atmosphere becomes unstable, localized, intense showers are expected in some areas.

Precipitation will vary significantly by region, ranging from 5mm to as much as 40mm in the Gangwon province.

Caution is advised, as some areas may experience gusts of wind, lightning, and hail.

With generally clear skies today, the UV index will be very high during the day.

Ozone levels will also rise in the afternoon, so please take care of your respiratory health.

Morning temperatures will be similar to yesterday.

Seoul is expected to start at 16°C (61°F).

Daytime highs are forecast to reach 26°C (79°F) in Seoul and 25°C (77°F) in Jeonju.

As the cold air moves eastward toward the end of the week, it will gradually get warmer, and rain is expected on Jeju Island starting Sunday.
