Cold Wave Temporarily 'Closed for Business'... Mild Weather Expected Until Mid-Month

Starting from the afternoon of the 4th, the weather will gradually warm up, and there is expected to be no severe cold until mid-month.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, until the morning of that day, most regions nationwide experienced freezing temperatures below zero, but the cold is forecast to gradually ease from the afternoon. In particular, the southern regions may feel warm as daytime temperatures rise above 10 degrees Celsius.

The highest daytime temperatures on that day are expected to be 8°C in Seoul, 8°C in Incheon, 8°C in Suwon, 6°C in Chuncheon, 13°C in Gangneung, 9°C in Cheongju, 10°C in Daejeon, 10°C in Jeonju, 11°C in Gwangju, 11°C in Daegu, 13°C in Busan, and 14°C in Jeju. The Korea Meteorological Administration predicted that warm southwesterly winds blowing along the edge of a high-pressure system will cause temperatures to gradually rise until the day after tomorrow, exceeding the average temperatures for this time of year.

As temperatures gradually increase, it is expected that on the 6th, most regions nationwide will briefly see minimum temperatures rise above freezing. However, on the afternoon of the 6th, due to the influence of a low-pressure trough, rain or snow will fall in the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Yeongseo, and rain will occur in the Chungcheong and Jeonbuk regions.

There is no forecast for severe cold until mid-month. Looking at the Korea Meteorological Administration's medium-term forecast, from the 6th to the 13th, minimum temperatures are expected to range from minus 4 degrees Celsius to 11 degrees Celsius, and maximum temperatures from 3 to 18 degrees Celsius. Generally, clear or occasionally cloudy and overcast weather will repeat, and the southern regions will continue to experience warmer-than-average weather.

Throughout this week, daytime temperatures will hover around 10 degrees Celsius, with some areas rising above 15 degrees Celsius, so there is unlikely to be difficulties caused by the cold. However, as daytime temperatures rise, the daily temperature range is expected to exceed 10 degrees Celsius, so attention to health management is necessary.
