On the 15th, South Korea will experience mostly cloudy weather with cool mornings and mild afternoons, but high levels of fine dust will pose a risk for outdoor activities.
On Sunday, the 15th, most regions of South Korea are expected to be cloudy, with chilly mornings and mild spring temperatures during the day. The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts that the morning temperatures will range from 0 to 6 degrees Celsius, while the afternoon highs will reach between 10 to 15 degrees Celsius. Notably, eastern Gyeonggi and inland Gangwon are predicted to experience morning temperatures dropping below freezing, emphasizing the need for residents to manage their health during these variable temperatures.
Regional afternoon highs are projected as follows: Seoul 13 degrees, Incheon 10 degrees, Chuncheon 14 degrees, Gangneung 12 degrees, Daejeon 12 degrees, Daegu 15 degrees, Jeonju 11 degrees, Gwangju 13 degrees, Busan 14 degrees, and Jeju 12 degrees. There will be significant temperature differences between day and night, especially in inland areas of Gyeongsang Province, where the temperature swing may reach around 15 degrees Celsius, which can affect health.
Additionally, fine dust levels are anticipated to be high due to stagnant air, particularly in the metropolitan area, western Gangwon, and the Chungcheong region, where air quality is expected to reach 'bad' levels. Other regions may see fine dust levels considered 'normal.' As the fine dust lingers, officials are advising caution for outdoor activities this weekend, raising public awareness about air quality issues.
