According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, temperatures will remain lower than the seasonal averages (morning lows of 5 to 14 degrees Celsius, daytime highs of 19 to 22 degrees Celsius) until this day, but will begin to rise to near-normal levels starting from October 23.

The forecast for this morning calls for lows between 3 and 14 degrees Celsius and highs between 14 and 23 degrees Celsius. The morning lows by region are as follows: Seoul 6 degrees, Incheon 6 degrees, Chuncheon 6 degrees, Gangneung 10 degrees, Daejeon 6 degrees, Daegu 11 degrees, Jeonju 7 degrees, Gwangju 8 degrees, Busan 14 degrees, and Jeju 16 degrees.

The expected daytime highs are: Seoul 18 degrees, Incheon 17 degrees, Chuncheon 18 degrees, Gangneung 15 degrees, Daejeon 19 degrees, Daegu 19 degrees, Jeonju 20 degrees, Gwangju 21 degrees, Busan 22 degrees, and Jeju 21 degrees.

As cold air flows in from the north, morning temperatures in the central region are expected to be 2 to 5 degrees lower than the seasonal average, hovering around 5 degrees Celsius. Strong winds will make it feel even colder.

Frost is expected in some inland areas of the central region and on high mountains in the southern region. In some northern inland areas of Gyeonggi Province, northern inland Gangwon Province, and the mountainous areas of Gangwon Province, there may even be patches of ice.

There is a forecast of rain mainly along the east coast for the time being. Most of the rain that fell the previous day is expected to subside by early morning, but in the afternoon, less than 0.1 millimeters of raindrops may fall in parts of Jeonnam, inland Gyeongbuk, and western Gyeongnam.

In addition, strong winds and high waves are expected on most seas. In particular, a high seas warning may be issued for the far offshore of the central East Sea in the early morning, the nearshore of the central East Sea and the northern Gyeongbuk coast in the morning, and the southern Jeju coast at night.

For the time being, high waves caused by swells may crash strongly onto sandy beaches or even over rocks and breakwaters along the east coast, so special caution is advised to prevent coastal accidents.
