Southern regions and Jeju Island brace for a wave of rain and gale-force winds reaching up to 70 km/h, with maritime waves surging past 5.0 meters, according to The CEN News.
Morning lows on November 9 will hover between 2 degrees and 11 degrees Celsius, while daytime highs are expected to reach only 11 degrees to 15 degrees Celsius, The CEN News reported.
Precipitation begins in the early hours of November 9. South Jeolla Province will see rain starting at midnight, followed by North Jeolla Province and the Gyeongsang provinces in the afternoon, with expected accumulations ranging from under 5 mm to 10 mm, according to The CEN News.
Jeju Island faces heavier downpours starting late on November 8, with total precipitation projected between 5 mm and 30 mm. Meanwhile, the eastern coast and mountainous areas of Gangwon Province expect 5 mm to 10 mm of rain, alongside 1 cm to 5 cm of potential snowfall in the mountains, The CEN News stated.
Gales will batter western coastal regions, Jeju Island, the southern coast, and the eastern coast of South Gyeongnam with maximum instantaneous speeds of 55 km/h to 70 km/h. Maritime conditions require strict caution as high waves generate gale warnings across distant waters, including the western seas, Jeju waters, and the eastern southern seas, where wave heights will climb from 1.5 meters to over 5.0 meters, The CEN News reported.
The eastern coast faces persistent swell waves capable of washing over breakwaters and coastal roads. Authorities also note that an ongoing spring tide period will elevate baseline sea levels, increasing the risk of coastal flooding in low-lying areas during high tide.
