The rain stopped Friday and the temperature rose... Highest 21 degrees during the day, beware of fog on the way to work

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jaeyoung Lee = As the sun clears from the morning of the 30th, Friday, the temperature will rise to a level slightly higher than the average temperature.

On the 29th, as a trough passed through the north of Korea, rain fell mainly in the metropolitan area.

There is expected to be some rain in the metropolitan area and the inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon on the night of the 29th, in Chungcheong and the southern region until the early morning of the 30th, and in Jeju until the morning of the 30th.

In the high mountains of northern Gangwon, over 1,200 meters above sea level, snow may fall instead of rain.

With rain falling and water vapor in the air, the temperature will drop overnight and thick fog will form in places on the morning of the 30th.

Between dawn and the morning of the 30th, fog with a visibility of less than 200m is expected to occur in Incheon and Gyeonggi Province, and fog with a visibility of less than 1km is expected to occur in Seoul, Gangwon inland, Chungcheong, Honam, Gyeongbuk inland, and western Gyeongnam inland.

The fog will be particularly thick around rivers, lakes, and valleys, so be especially careful when passing through.

The temperature on the 30th will be a minimum of 4 to 13 degrees in the morning and a maximum of 17 to 21 degrees during the day, similar to or slightly higher than the average temperature (lowest of 2 to 12 degrees, maximum of 16 to 20 degrees).

In Yeongnam, the daily temperature difference will be as large as 10 to 15 degrees.

The expected minimum and maximum temperatures in major cities are 8 degrees and 19 degrees in Seoul, 9 degrees and 19 degrees in Incheon and Daejeon, 10 degrees and 21 degrees in Gwangju, 9 degrees and 21 degrees in Daegu, 11 degrees and 21 degrees in Ulsan, and 13 degrees and 21 degrees in Busan.

As the air in Yeongdong, Gangwon-do gradually becomes drier, the risk of fires will increase. On the night of the 29th to the 30th, strong winds blowing at instantaneous speeds of around 55 km/h (15 m/s) will blow in the mountains of Gangwon and the east coast, increasing the risk of fire.
