The weather forecast for Tuesday, the 14th, indicates that South Korea will experience significant rainfall, with amounts reaching up to 80mm in some regions. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the nation will be under the influence of a stationary front moving from the western sea toward the southeastern coast, accompanied by a developing low-pressure system.
Rainfall predictions suggest that areas such as Daegu, Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, Gyeongnam, Gangwon Yeongdong, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo may see between 20 to 60mm of rain, while regions including the northern coast of Gyeongbuk, northeastern mountainous areas, and southern regions of Gangwon could experience even higher levels, exceeding 80mm.
In Gwangju, North Jeolla, and South Jeolla provinces, rainfall is expected to range from 10 to 50mm, while Daejeon, Sejong, South Chungcheong, and North Chungcheong could see between 10 and 40mm. For Jeju Island, the anticipated rainfall is between 5 to 40mm, and in the metropolitan areas of Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, and western Gangwon, it is expected to be between 5 to 30mm.
Morning temperatures will vary between 14 and 22 degrees Celsius, with afternoon highs ranging from 18 to 26 degrees Celsius across the country. Specific regional morning lows will be around 15 degrees in Seoul, Incheon, and Gangneung; 14 degrees in Chuncheon; 18 degrees in Daejeon; 17 degrees in Daegu; 20 degrees in Busan, Jeonju, and Gwangju; and 23 degrees in Jeju. Afternoon highs are forecast to reach 20 degrees in Seoul, 21 degrees in Incheon and Daegu, 19 degrees in Gangneung, 22 degrees in Daejeon, 23 degrees in Busan, and peak at 26 degrees in Jeju.
The air quality across the country is expected to be ‘good,’ indicating low levels of fine dust. Ocean conditions will show waves reaching heights of 1.0 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West and South Seas.
In regions of the central East Sea and off the southern coast of Gangwon, strong winds of 8 to 16 meters per second are likely, resulting in high waves. As a result, maritime activities will require cautious handling to ensure safety for vessels navigating that area.
