Central Korea and North Jeolla Province are expected to see light rain and cooler temperatures starting Wednesday afternoon [1, 2].
This shift in weather marks a notable departure from previous temperatures, potentially impacting outdoor activities and requiring residents to secure loose outdoor structures against wind.
Seoul's daytime temperature is forecast to reach about 21°C [1]. This represents a decrease from yesterday, with reports indicating a drop ranging from three degrees [2] to as much as six to seven degrees [3]. The morning temperature in Seoul was recorded at 13.1°C [1].
YTN weather caster Jung Su-hyun said light rain will fall in the central region and North Jeolla from the afternoon through the night [1, 2]. While occasional drizzle may also affect the Ho-nam and Yeong-nam areas, the total rainfall is not expected to be heavy, totaling about five mm [1].
Strong winds are accompanying the weather front. Jung said wind gusts of approximately 15 m/s are expected [1]. Because of these gusts, Jung said residents should check facilities that could be blown away [1].
The cooling trend is driven by a weather front moving across the region, bringing a mixture of precipitation and stronger wind patterns [1, 2].
“Light rain will fall in the central region and North Jeolla from the afternoon through the night.”
The arrival of this weather front indicates a transition toward cooler seasonal temperatures in South Korea. While the rainfall volume is low, the combination of a significant temperature drop and high wind gusts suggests a volatile atmospheric shift that requires short-term caution for urban infrastructure and commuters.
