The second day of early voting for the 22nd general election, which falls on Saturday the 6th, will see daytime temperatures rising above 20 degrees Celsius, making the weather generally mild across the country. However, temperatures are expected to drop sharply at night, so attention should be paid to the temperature difference between day and night.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the central region will be mostly clear, while the southern region and Jeju Island will be somewhat cloudy due to cloud cover. Between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., there may be light raindrops of less than 0.1mm in the mountainous areas of Jeju Island.

The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 3 and 11 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 16 and 22 degrees Celsius. Morning lows in major areas are expected to be ▲Seoul 8°C ▲Daejeon 8°C ▲Daegu 9°C ▲Jeonju 9°C ▲Gwangju 10°C ▲Busan 10°C ▲Chuncheon 5°C ▲Gangneung 10°C ▲Jeju 12°C ▲Ulleungdo and Dokdo 10°C.

Daytime highs are expected to be ▲Seoul 19°C ▲Daejeon 20°C ▲Daegu 21°C ▲Jeonju 20°C ▲Gwangju 21°C ▲Busan 19°C ▲Chuncheon 21°C ▲Gangneung 21°C ▲Jeju 17°C ▲Ulleungdo and Dokdo 16°C.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, “The temperature difference between day and night will be around 15 degrees Celsius, especially inland, so special care should be taken for health management.”

Fine dust levels are forecasted to be ‘moderate’ across all regions. However, in the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungbuk, and Gyeongbuk, fine dust levels will temporarily reach ‘unhealthy’ levels due to the accumulation of domestic fine dust combined with the inflow of foreign fine dust caused by stagnant air conditions.
