Morning temperatures drop to minus 7 degrees due to 'flower-sprouting cold'...Fog and frost 'warning' on the 9th
On November 8, morning temperatures across South Korea dropped to minus 7 degrees Celsius, prompting warnings for fog and frost in various regions.
On November 8, South Korea will experience clear skies, but the morning temperatures will remain quite cold, generally hovering around freezing and even dropping to minus 7 degrees Celsius in some areas. The Korean Meteorological Administration forecasts that the morning temperatures will frequently be below zero, particularly in inland areas, leading to significant temperature fluctuations of about 15 degrees between day and night. As the ice on rivers and lakes begins to thaw during the warmer daytime hours, safety precautions are encouraged to avoid accidents.
The forecasted temperatures indicate that morning lows will range from minus 7 to 1 degree Celsius, while maximum afternoon temperatures will reach between 6 and 11 degrees, which is similar to or slightly lower than the usual averages for this time of year. Specific regional forecasts show chilly mornings in major cities, including Seoul, Incheon, and Daejeon, all expected to have morning lows around minus 3 degrees, while warmer cities like Busan and Jeju will see higher temperatures around 1 to 3 degrees Celsius.
Furthermore, the Korean Meteorological Administration warns of fog expected to occur overnight into November 8, particularly in inland areas and the Jeolla region, where visibility might drop below 1 kilometer. This could pose challenges for drivers, especially near waters and valleys where fog may be denser, thus it is advised to maintain safe distances and reduce speed while driving. The emphasis on weather safety further illustrates the ongoing impacts of seasonal changes in South Korea.
