On March 5, Gwangju and Jeonnam will experience mild weather with daytime highs reaching up to 16 degrees Celsius. However, from the night, spring rain will gently soak the ground, followed by strong winds the next day.

According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on March 5, Gwangju and Jeonnam will gradually become cloudy in the afternoon, with full-scale rain beginning at night. This rain is expected to continue until the morning of March 6, with both Gwangju and Jeonnam likely to see an estimated precipitation of 5 to 20 millimeters.

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) for the time being. On March 5, morning lows will range from -1 to 5 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs will range from 12 to 16 degrees Celsius, resulting in relatively mild conditions.

However, after the rain stops, strong winds and rain will sharply intensify from the afternoon of March 6. According to a meteorological official, extremely strong gusts with instantaneous wind speeds exceeding 15 meters per second are expected, especially along the Jeonnam coast. As such, special caution is advised to manage facilities such as signs and to prevent safety accidents caused by falling objects. The sky is forecast to be mostly cloudy on March 6, gradually clearing from the afternoon.

Thorough preparation is also necessary to prevent maritime accidents. Until the morning of March 6, the southern far sea of the Yellow Sea and the western far sea of the South Sea will experience strong winds of 6 to 12 meters per second, with waves ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 meters. In particular, from the afternoon of March 6, the southern far sea of the Yellow Sea is expected to see maximum wind speeds of 14 meters per second, and the western far sea of the South Sea up to 13 meters per second, with waves reaching heights of up to 3.0 meters.

An official from the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration stated, "Due to the rain starting at night, some roads may become slippery, so please pay attention to traffic safety during your evening and morning commutes. From the afternoon of March 6, strong winds are expected along the coast and high waves at sea, so vessels navigating or operating in these areas should exercise special caution."
