[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] This fall is experiencing the coldest weather so far. Daegwallyeong in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do recorded a morning low temperature of -0.5°C, and the manned observation station recorded the first frost of the year.

The Korea Meteorological Administration announced on the 15th that cold air from the northwest of the Korean Peninsula caused temperatures to drop to the lowest this year, with Seoul at 6.5°C, Cheorwon at 0.3°C, and Chuncheon at 3.7°C.

As temperatures dropped sharply, the first frost was observed at manned observation stations as well. Although the first frost was observed at unmanned stations such as Daegwallyeong and Wonju on September 28 and October 6, respectively, this is the first frost recorded this year at manned stations. Unmanned stations are not official observation points, and the official date is recorded based on frost observed at manned stations. The frost observed in Bukchuncheon on this day was 12 days earlier than last year.

Morning temperatures have fallen below freezing, resulting in chilly weather. Northern inland Gyeonggi, Yeongseo and mountainous areas of Gangwon, some northern parts of Chungbuk, and southern mountainous areas will experience temperatures below 0°C, while other central inland areas, eastern Jeonbuk, and northern inland Gyeongbuk will drop below 5°C, making it cold. During the day, temperatures will rise significantly, with temperature differences exceeding 10°C in most regions nationwide, and more than 15°C differences expected in central inland areas, eastern Jeonbuk, and northern inland Gyeongbuk.
