Monday Morning Temperatures Drop Below Freezing... Strong Winds Also Expected

Morning low -6 to 4°C · Daytime 6 to 13°C

On Monday the 18th, the morning temperature will drop sharply and strong winds will make it feel cold.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 17th, the lowest morning temperature on the 18th is expected to be between -6 and 4 degrees Celsius, and the highest daytime temperature between 6 and 13 degrees Celsius. The expected lowest and highest temperatures in major cities are Seoul -2°C and 7°C, Incheon 0°C and 6°C, Daejeon -2°C and 8°C, Gwangju 2°C and 9°C, Daegu 1°C and 9°C, Ulsan 2°C and 10°C, and Busan 4°C and 13°C.

The morning temperature on the 18th will drop by about 10 degrees compared to the previous day (over 15 degrees in inland Jeonbuk), so caution is needed for health management due to the sudden temperature change. Also, strong winds with gusts around 55 km/h will blow across most regions nationwide. Especially in the West Coast, southern coast of Jeollanam-do, and Jeju Island where strong wind warnings have been issued, gusts of 70 km/h or more (over 90 km/h in Jeju Island's mountainous areas) are expected, so extra caution is required.

From the night of the 17th, waves will rise above 5.0 meters mainly around Jeju Island waters, and from the 18th, waves in the southern East Sea offshore and the outer southern sea offshore are expected to increase further, possibly leading to a storm warning.

The weather nationwide on the 18th will be mostly clear, but it will be mostly cloudy in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon Province and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk Province. Occasional rain is expected until night on the southern East Coast of Gangwon and the northern East Coast of Gyeongbuk, with some rain falling on the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk from the afternoon to nighttime on the 18th.
