Starting from the weekend, rain will fall nationwide except in the Seoul metropolitan area, causing the morning low temperatures to drop by more than 10 degrees, making it colder.

On the 13th, the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) forecasted that on the morning of the 16th, rain will fall nationwide except in the Seoul metropolitan area, and in the afternoon, it will be mostly cloudy with strong winds. The morning low temperatures on that day are expected to be between 13 and 18 degrees Celsius, and daytime temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius.

After the rain stops, on the morning of the 17th, temperatures will drop to between 1 and 8 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high will also decrease to between 11 and 16 degrees Celsius.

As of the 12th, morning low temperatures were between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs between 17 and 21 degrees Celsius, so the morning lows will fall by more than 10 degrees.

The KMA explained, "From the 17th to the 19th, morning low temperatures will fall below 10 degrees Celsius, with frost expected mainly in mountainous areas and some places experiencing ice formation, so caution is needed in managing crops."

There is also a possibility of a cold wave advisory being issued on the morning of the 17th, mainly for the central region. Cold wave advisories are divided into cold wave watches and cold wave warnings.

A cold wave watch is issued when the lowest temperature drops by more than 10 degrees compared to the previous day to 3 degrees Celsius or below, and is expected to be 3 degrees lower than the average value. It is issued when the lowest temperature remains below minus 12 degrees Celsius for two or more days or when a sudden cold spell is expected to cause significant damage.
