On March 31, the last day of March, rain is expected to continue until early morning in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions, after which it will gradually stop. However, strong winds are forecasted, especially along the coast, so extra caution is needed for facility management and to prevent safety accidents.

According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on March 30, most of the rain is expected to stop in the morning of the 31st. The expected precipitation between March 30 and March 31 is 20 to 50 mm across Gwangju and Jeonnam, with some areas along the Jeonnam coast expected to receive more than 60 mm. Even after the rain stops, the sky is forecasted to remain mostly cloudy until the day after tomorrow (April 1).

Additionally, strong winds with instantaneous speeds of around 15 meters per second are expected along the Jeonnam coast until the morning of the 31st.

At sea, winds will be very strong at 9 to 15 meters per second in the offshore areas of the southern West Sea and western South Sea, with waves reaching a height of 1.0 to 3.5 meters. There is a possibility that a high seas warning may be issued, according to the meteorological administration. In the nearshore areas of the southern West Sea and western South Sea, waves are also expected to be somewhat high at 1.0 to 2.0 meters, so vessels engaged in navigation or fishing are advised to exercise special caution.

Temperatures will remain higher than the seasonal average for the time being (average low of 2 to 7 degrees Celsius, average high of 14 to 18 degrees Celsius). On March 31, the morning low is expected to range from 8 to 13 degrees, and the daytime high from 16 to 21 degrees, bringing mild spring weather.

A Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration official stated, "With rain continuing until early morning tomorrow and very strong winds expected along the coast, please be thoroughly prepared in advance to prevent accidents from falling objects and facility damage. Passengers using maritime transportation should check operation information in advance and pay special attention to vessel safety accidents."
