On the 5th, Gwangju and Jeonnam are expected to see a significant temperature difference of around 15 degrees Celsius between day and night, mainly inland, and up to 20mm of rain is forecast to fall starting at night.


According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on the 4th, Gwangju and Jeonnam will be partly cloudy at times on the 5th, with clouds gradually increasing in the afternoon. Temperatures will remain similar to or slightly higher than the seasonal averages (lows of -2 to 3 degrees Celsius, highs of 9 to 12 degrees Celsius), making for mild weather conditions.


The morning lows are expected to range from -1 to 5 degrees Celsius, and the afternoon highs from 12 to 16 degrees Celsius. In particular, the temperature difference between day and night will be around 15 degrees Celsius in various inland areas of Gwangju and Jeonnam, prompting meteorological officials to urge extra caution for health management due to potential decreased immunity during the changing seasons.


Additionally, from the morning hours, some areas of Gwangju and Jeonnam may experience fog that shortens visibility, so commuters should pay attention to traffic safety during early morning hours. The rain starting in the afternoon is forecast to continue until the morning of the following day, the 6th. The total expected rainfall over the two days is estimated at 5 to 20mm.


Thorough preparation is also necessary to prevent maritime accidents. Until the morning of the 6th, the far southern seas of the West Sea and the western part of the South Sea are expected to experience strong winds of 6 to 12 meters per second and waves ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 meters.


In particular, from the afternoon of the 6th, winds are forecast to strengthen further, reaching 9 to 14 meters per second in the far southern seas of the West Sea and 8 to 13 meters per second in the far western seas of the South Sea, with waves rising very high to a maximum of 3.0 meters.



An official from the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration advised, "From the afternoon of the 6th, winds at sea will be very strong and waves will be high, so vessels engaged in navigation or fishing operations should exercise special caution to prevent accidents."
