Morning temperatures dropped in the southern regions and a 5 to 10 millimeter band of precipitation was forecast through early morning, according to weather reports published by Yonhap News Agency.
The Bottom Line
- Morning lows plunged to 1.4 degrees Celsius in Bongha, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and 1.5 degrees Celsius in Geochang, Gyeongsangnam-do, driven by cold air pushing south.
- Seoul will open the morning at 14 degrees Celsius before reaching a high of 23 degrees Celsius, creating wide diurnal temperature ranges nationwide.
- Precipitation will clear by early Thursday morning in the capital region and northern Gangwon, followed by clear conditions on Saturday and widespread rain on Sunday.
Temperature Plunge Across Southern Inland Regions
Cold air masses moving down the peninsula triggered steep temperature drops in regional agricultural and industrial corridors. Bongha recorded a morning low of 1.4 degrees Celsius, while Geochang dropped to 1.5 degrees Celsius. In the southeast, Andong registered an early morning reading of 8 degrees Celsius before daytime highs rebounded to 25 degrees Celsius in Daegu and 26 degrees Celsius in Gwangju, according to data released by Yonhap News Agency.
Meteorologists note that the daily temperature gap widens to between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.
