On January 1, 2025, the first day of the Eulsanyeon, the "Year of the Blue Snake," Gwangju and Jeonnam are expected to witness the sunrise through low clouds.

According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration and the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute on the 31st, the first sunrise of the new year can be seen at 7:41 a.m. in Gwangju, 7:42 a.m. in Mokpo, 7:37 a.m. in Yeosu, 7:39 a.m. in Wando, and 7:45 a.m. in Heuksando.

Most areas of Gwangju and Jeonnam will be mostly clear with occasional clouds on the 1st, mainly due to the influence of a high-pressure system moving east from the vicinity of the Shandong Peninsula in China.

The morning's lowest temperatures are expected to be -4 degrees Celsius in Damyang and Gokseong; -3 degrees in Jangseong, Hampyeong, Naju, Hwasun, Yeongam, Jangheung, Gangjin, and Goheung; -2 degrees in Gwangju, Yeonggwang, Gurye, Muan, Haenam, Boseong, and Suncheon; 1 degree in Gwangyang, Mokpo, Jindo, Wando, and Yeosu; and 2 degrees in Shinan.

The day's highest temperatures will be similar to the previous day, with 11 degrees Celsius in Gwangyang and Goheung; 10 degrees in Jangseong, Naju, Yeongam, Suncheon, Jangheung, Haenam, Gangjin, and Wando; and 9 degrees in Gwangju, Yeonggwang, Hampyeong, Damyang, Gokseong, Gurye, Muan, Hwasun, Boseong, Mokpo, Jindo, and Yeosu.

Waves on the sea are expected to be 0.5 to 1 meter high in the coastal waters of the West and South Seas. Fine dust concentrations in both Gwangju and Jeonnam will remain at "normal" levels.

An official from the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration said, "On the morning of January 1, temperatures in the inland areas of Jeonnam will be around -3 degrees Celsius, and strong winds will make it feel even colder, so please take care of your health."
