On April 17, rain is expected to begin in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions from early dawn and continue until the morning of the following day. With the rainfall, the early summer heat that has persisted will subside.


According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on April 16, rain starting in the morning of April 17 is forecasted to bring 20 to 60 millimeters of precipitation across Gwangju and all of Jeonnam by the morning of April 18.


The morning low on April 17 is forecasted to be between 10 and 13 degrees Celsius, with daytime highs ranging from 16 to 19 degrees Celsius. For the time being, temperatures will remain higher than the seasonal averages (lows of 5 to 10 degrees Celsius, highs of 18 to 22 degrees Celsius). However, due to the rain, the daytime temperature tomorrow will be lower than average and may feel somewhat cool.


Caution is also advised regarding strong winds and maritime safety. On the Jeonnam coast, strong winds with instantaneous speeds of around 15 meters per second are expected in some areas until early tomorrow morning. In the South Sea West, where a high seas warning has been issued, winds are forecasted to blow very strongly at 29 to 54 kilometers per hour until early tomorrow, and waves are expected to reach heights of 1.5 to 3.5 meters, requiring special attention.



An official from the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration urged, "As rain falls from early dawn tomorrow, visibility will be reduced and many roads will be slippery, so please take extra care with traffic safety."
