[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] On Thursday the 31st, another spring rain is expected, mainly in the eastern Gyeonggi region, northern Chungbuk, and western Gyeongsang.


The rain that started on the 30th in the central region, Honam, and Jeju is forecast to expand nationwide by the evening of the same day and mostly stop by the morning of the 31st, starting from the western regions at night. However, rain may continue until the afternoon in Gangwon Yeongdong, northeastern mountainous areas of Gyeongbuk, and the northern east coast of Gyeongbuk. Between the afternoon and evening of the 31st, rain will fall temporarily in eastern Gyeonggi, northern Chungbuk, and western Gyeongsang. Scattered raindrops are also expected in other areas.


Expected precipitation until the 31st is 5 to 20 mm in Gangwon Yeongdong and Jeju, and around 5 mm in other regions. Snow is expected in the mountainous areas of Gangwon, accumulating 1 to 5 cm. The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts that snow accumulation could exceed 5 cm in high mountainous areas above 1000 m.


The lowest temperatures on the morning of the 31st will range from 4 to 12 degrees Celsius, similar to the 30th (0 to 12 degrees). The highest daytime temperatures will be between 8 and 18 degrees, somewhat lower than the 30th (13 to 21 degrees). The forecasted lowest and highest temperatures for major cities are Seoul 8°C and 14°C, Incheon 7°C and 13°C, Daejeon and Gwangju 10°C and 16°C, Daegu 10°C and 14°C, and Busan 11°C and 14°C. Ulsan is expected to have the same lowest and highest temperature of 11°C.



After the rain stops, cold air coming from the north will cause temperatures to drop sharply on the 1st of next month. Morning temperatures are expected to be about 5 degrees lower than on the 31st, with slightly stronger winds making it chilly.
