[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] On the 8th, the solar term "Hanro (寒露)," when cold dew forms, morning temperatures will drop below 10 degrees Celsius in most parts of the country.


In northern Gyeonggi and Yeongseo region of Gangwon, morning temperatures will fall to around 5 degrees Celsius, causing frost in northern Gyeonggi and inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon. Ice will form in high-altitude areas of the Gangwon mountains.


The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts that the nationwide morning low temperatures on the 8th will range from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius. Daytime highs are expected to be between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius, around 20 degrees. Winds will blow somewhat strongly, making the perceived temperature lower than the actual temperature.


Expected low and high temperatures in major cities are: Seoul 11°C and 21°C, Incheon 11°C and 20°C, Daejeon 10°C and 22°C, Gwangju 12°C and 22°C, Daegu 10°C and 21°C, Ulsan 13°C and 20°C, and Busan 14°C and 22°C.


With easterly winds blowing in, occasional rain will fall in Jeju from morning to late afternoon on the 8th, and raindrops will fall along the eastern coast of Gangwon and North Gyeongsang. Rainfall amounts will be 5 to 10 mm in eastern and mountainous areas of Jeju, and less than 5 mm in northern, western, and southern Jeju.


On Hangul Day, the 9th, morning low temperatures are expected to be between 7 and 16 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius.


Due to a low-pressure system moving eastward from the Bohai Sea in China, rain will begin falling on the morning of the 9th along the western coast of the central region. The rain will expand to the metropolitan area, Chungnam, Honam, and Jeju during the day, and will fall nationwide in the late afternoon and evening.


The rain will continue in some areas until the substitute holiday on the 10th. Expected precipitation amounts are 10 to 50 mm in the metropolitan area, western coast of Chungnam, and the five western islands; 5 to 30 mm in Yeongseo of Gangwon, inland Chungcheong, Honam, and Jeju; and around 5 mm in Yeongdong of Gangwon, Yeongnam, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo.


From late night on the 9th, cold and dry air will enter from the northwest, destabilizing the atmosphere. Gusts of wind, thunder, and lightning will occur in areas with rain. Some regions may experience hail.



High waves will reach the beaches or overflow rocky shores and breakwaters along the east coast until the 9th. The Korea Meteorological Administration has urged people to avoid going to the coast if possible.
