Besides the southern coast, rain will fall from the morning in the Jeonnam region and southern Gyeongbuk, and from noon, rain is also expected in southern Jeonbuk.


Until daytime on this day, rain will fall due to a stationary front, and from night until the next day, a weak low-pressure trough will form over the West Sea, bringing precipitation nationwide except for Gangwon Province.


When rain falls due to the stationary front, the rainy areas tend to be narrow. There will be frequent cycles of heavy rain followed by lulls, and many periods of calm, causing significant differences in precipitation intensity and amount between regions.


Precipitation amounts are expected to be 50-150mm (up to over 200mm) in southern, eastern, mid-mountain, and mountainous areas of Jeju; 30-80mm (up to over 100mm) in northern Jeju and western coastal areas; 30-80mm (up to over 120mm) in Busan, Ulsan, southern coast of Gyeongnam, and southern coast of Jeonnam; 10-60mm in inland Gyeongnam, Daegu, southern Gyeongbuk, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo; 5-40mm in Gwangju and Jeonnam (excluding southern coast); and 5-20mm in southern Jeonbuk. On the night of the 1st through the morning of the 2nd, rainfall rates of 30-60mm per hour may occur along the Gyeongnam coast.


This weekend morning will feel cool enough to think that autumn has arrived. The lowest temperatures on the mornings of the 2nd and 3rd are expected to be 16-24°C and 18-24°C, respectively. As morning temperatures drop, dense fog may form mainly inland. The highest daytime temperatures are forecast to be 26-31°C on the 2nd and 25-31°C on the 3rd. In Jeonnam, the perceived temperature will rise to around 33°C, making it hot for the time being.


The expected lowest and highest temperatures on the 2nd in major cities are ▲Seoul 20°C and 31°C ▲Incheon 21°C and 29°C ▲Daejeon 19°C and 30°C ▲Gwangju 21°C and 31°C ▲Daegu 22°C and 28°C ▲Ulsan 21°C and 26°C ▲Busan 24°C and 28°C.


Sea levels are expected to be high. This is because the lunar gravitational force is strong until the 4th, causing a high tide period. The 2nd will be a day with especially high tide levels during this high tide period, so preparations should be made to prevent damage in low-lying coastal areas.


Along the Jeju coast and southern coast, high waves caused by swell are expected to surge over rocky shores and breakwaters.



In the outer seas south of Jeju and the outer seas east of the southern coast, where storm warnings have been issued, winds will blow strongly at 30-60 km/h (8-16 m/s) until the 3rd, with waves rising to heights of 1.5-4.0 meters. Stormy seas are also expected in the outer southern seas of the southern West Sea.
