On Wednesday the 11th, Gwangju and South Jeolla Province are expected to see rain or snow until the morning, with temperatures milder than in an average year.


According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on the 10th, Gwangju and South Jeolla Province will be affected by a trough of low pressure on the 11th, bringing rain or snow until the morning.


Expected precipitation is around 1 mm across all areas of Gwangju and South Jeolla Province, and some inland areas of Gwangju and South Jeolla may see less than 1 cm of snow accumulation. After the rain stops, in the afternoon there may be a few raindrops of less than 0.1 mm or some flurries, mainly in inland areas.


Temperatures will be about 2 to 5 degrees Celsius higher than average, making it feel mild. The morning low is forecast to range from 0 to 3 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high from 7 to 11 degrees Celsius, which is above the seasonal averages (morning lows of minus 4 to 0 degrees, and highs of 5 to 8 degrees).


However, as the fallen rain or snow may freeze and make many roads slippery, extra caution is required for traffic safety during the morning commute.



An official from the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration said, "In areas where rain or snow falls, visibility will be short, and there will be many places with icy roads or black ice," and urged, "Please reduce speed when driving and pay attention to preventing pedestrian safety accidents."
