Skies will be mostly clear across the country on Friday the 2nd, but cold air moving down from the north will make it the chilliest day of the autumn so far.
Morning lows were forecast at 5 to 15 degrees Celsius, with daytime highs of 20 to 24 C. Cold, dry air is flowing in along the edge of a migratory high-pressure system expanding over northern China, and cool weather will continue for the time being.
The gap between daytime and nighttime temperatures will widen to around 15 C. Strong winds, mainly along the coast, are expected to make it feel even colder, and people should take care of their health.
Frost is expected in parts of northeastern Gyeonggi Province, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon State, and the northeastern mountains of North Gyeongsang Province. Ice may form in Gangwon State's higher mountain areas.
Waves will run 0.5 to 2.5 meters in coastal waters of the East Sea and 0.5 to 1.0 meter off the West and South seas. In inner offshore waters, within about 200 kilometers of the coastline, waves are expected to reach 0.5 to 3.5 meters in the East Sea and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West and South seas.
