[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Saturday the 22nd, after raindrops fall in the mountainous areas of Gangwon, cold air will move southward, causing the morning low temperatures early next week to drop to around 5 degrees Celsius.

On the 20th, the Korea Meteorological Administration held a regular briefing and forecasted that under the influence of a weak pressure trough, it will gradually become cloudy from the afternoon of Saturday the 22nd, with raindrops falling in the mountainous areas of Gangwon. After the rain, cold air will descend from the upper layers, causing temperatures to be about 3 degrees lower than average starting from the 24th.

From the 23rd to 24th, rain caused by easterly winds will fall in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon and the northern East Coast of Gyeongbuk, and there is a possibility of snow on high mountains on the 24th. As cold air moves southward, high waves will rise at sea, and swell waves are expected along the East Coast, so caution is required.

Forecaster Lee Kwang-yeon explained, "High pressure is expanding over the central and northern East Sea region, bringing developed cloud bands from the sea that collide with the ground, and during the period when easterly winds persist in Gangwon Yeongdong and the northern East Coast of Gyeongbuk, rain will continue. On the 24th, temperatures will drop further, increasing the possibility of snow on high mountains."

From the 23rd, as cold air moves southward, temperatures will drop, making the mornings of the 24th and 25th early next week somewhat chilly. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration's medium-term forecast, the morning low temperature in Seoul on the 23rd is forecasted to be 10 degrees Celsius, and 6 degrees on the 24th and 25th. Temperatures will rise from the 25th as a mobile high pressure remains, maintaining around 9 degrees Celsius.

Forecaster Lee said, "Next Monday and Tuesday, the cold will continue about 3 degrees below the average temperature, but temperatures will recover to average levels after Wednesday. Since high pressure will stagnate near our country, the atmosphere will become drier and the daily temperature range will be large. Special attention should be paid to respiratory diseases and fire hazards."
