The rain that continued throughout the Chuseok holiday is expected to persist through this weekend. Rain will fall mainly in the central region and Gangwon Province through Saturday the 11th, and mainly in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon on Sunday the 12th.
The Korea meteorological Administration said at a regular briefing on the 10th that through the 11th, 20–60 millimeters of rainfall is expected in northern Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon, and 5–40 millimeters in the capital area, Gangwon Province, and northern Chungcheong. After the rain stops, dense fog will form mainly in the central region between the night of the 11th and the early morning of the 12th. In the Yeongdong region of Gangwon on the 12th, 10–40 millimeters of rain is forecast.
Heavy rain at the level of a heavy rain advisory is forecast for the central region and the East Sea coast of Gangwon on the 13th–14th at the beginning of next week. Rain will fall nationwide on the 14th. It will continue in the southern region through the 15th and in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon through the 16th.
Temperatures will remain above normal for the time being. Morning lows are currently 8–12 degrees, and daytime highs are around 20–26 degrees.
Lee Chang-jae, a forecast analyst at the Korea meteorological Administration, said, "Daytime highs are elevated because the southern high-pressure system is more expansive than usual," and added, "And with the continued cloudy weather, the air is not cooling at night, so the minimum temperatures are also high." However, starting next weekend, mainly in the central region, temperatures will drop, bringing both the minimum and maximum temperatures down to normal levels.
Typhoon No. 22, Halong, and Typhoon No. 23, Nakri, are both developing, but they have no impact on Korea. Both typhoons are moving eastward over the waters east of Japan. So far this year, the number of typhoons that have affected the Korean Peninsula is zero.
Meanwhile, caution is advised for safety accidents caused by swells mainly along the East Sea coast and the coast of Jeju Island. The Korea meteorological Administration said, "Since today is still a spring tide period, low-lying areas should be wary of flooding."
