The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted on the 31st that winter rain will fall mainly in the southern region this weekend. Jeju is expected to receive up to 70 mm of rain. As raindrops hit the ground, they may freeze quickly, creating black ice, so caution is advised.
The Korean Peninsula is experiencing snow and rain in the metropolitan area and inland Gangwon as warm southern winds meet cold air to form cloud cover.
