TLDR

  • Sunday is expected to be clear and mild with temperatures similar to or slightly above average.
  • Dry conditions in some inland areas prompt warnings about fire risks.
  • Rain is forecast to begin Monday and continue into Tuesday across most of the country.

South Korea is set for a pleasant Sunday with clear skies and mild spring weather, offering a perfect opportunity for outdoor activities. However, the Korea Meteorological Administration has issued a dry weather advisory for several inland regions, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungbuk, and Gangwon's eastern coast, urging caution against potential wildfires and fires due to the arid conditions.

Temperatures are expected to reach between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius, with significant diurnal variations of 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. This large temperature difference between day and night necessitates attention to personal health and well-being. Air quality is predicted to be good across all regions.

The pleasant weather is short-lived, as a low-pressure system moving from the Shandong Peninsula in China is expected to bring rain starting Monday. The precipitation will begin in the central regions in the morning and spread to other parts of the country by Tuesday morning, with varying amounts expected across different areas.
