According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, temperatures are expected to remain colder than usual until the 11th, but from the 12th, which is the preliminary gathering day for CSAT examinees, temperatures will rise to average or above-average levels. On the day of the CSAT, November 13, temperatures are forecast to be 1 to 4 degrees Celsius higher than the seasonal average.

On the morning of the 12th, the lowest temperature is expected to range from 0 to 10 degrees Celsius, with daytime highs between 14 and 20 degrees Celsius. On the 13th, morning lows are forecast to be between 2 and 11 degrees Celsius, with daytime highs ranging from 14 to 19 degrees Celsius.

The difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures will be significant, at around 15 degrees Celsius. As South Korea will be under the influence of a high-pressure system, the weather will be clear and there will be abundant sunlight, causing daytime temperatures to rise significantly and resulting in a large temperature gap between day and night.

The weather forecast for each CSAT test site can be checked on the Korea Meteorological Administration's Weather Nuri website.
