Chilly Start to the Day Across Korea, Large Temperature Swings Expected Through Weekend

Seoul, South Korea – Residents across South Korea woke up to a chilly morning today, with temperatures hovering around 5 degrees Celsius in most regions. In inland and mountainous areas of central regions, temperatures dipped near or below freezing, prompting frost and ice warnings.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), early morning temperatures included 5°C in Seoul, 2.7°C in Daejeon, 10.7°C in Busan, 8.8°C in Gangneung, and 12.9°C in Jeju. Some areas, like Panmunjeom in Paju (-3.1°C), Dunnae-myeon in Hoengseong (-4.2°C), Deogyusan in Muju (-1°C) and Bonghwa (-2.4°C) experienced even colder conditions.

While daytime highs are expected to climb to between 12°C and 19°C, near or slightly above the average for this time of year, the KMA is warning of significant daily temperature swings. “The difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures could be as high as 15 degrees Celsius, particularly in central regions and high-altitude areas,” stated a KMA spokesperson. “Farmers should take precautions to protect crops from frost and ice.”

Dense fog is also impacting visibility, particularly in Chungcheong, Jeolla, and inland Gyeongsangbuk-do provinces. Motorists are advised to exercise caution, especially near bodies of water and in valleys, where fog may be thick and roads may be icy.

The mostly clear and chilly weather is expected to persist through Sunday afternoon. However, cloud cover will gradually increase from the west on Sunday evening, with rain or snow forecast for the Seoul metropolitan area, inland Gangwon, mountainous regions, Chungcheong, and Jeonbuk provinces from late afternoon. The expected rainfall is minimal, around 5mm.

Morning lows on Saturday and Sunday are forecasted to range from -1°C to 8°C and 1°C to 10°C, respectively. Daytime highs are expected to range from 15°C to 19°C and 14°C to 20°C, respectively. Residents are encouraged to dress in layers to accommodate the wide temperature variations throughout the day.
