[Weather] Temperature Swings Up to 15 Degrees... Chilly From October, "Say Goodbye to Short Sleeves"

On the morning commute tomorrow in the Gwangju and Jeollanam-do regions, dense fog is expected, and starting the day after tomorrow, chilly winds will bring cooler temperatures.

An emergency alert has been issued for traffic safety during the morning commute. From early morning to around breakfast time tomorrow, most areas in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do will experience dense fog with visibility less than 200 meters in many places.

Until tomorrow, daytime temperatures will be higher than average, with a large daily temperature range. Tomorrow morning's lows will range from 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, while daytime highs will reach 26 to 28 degrees, resulting in a significant difference of 10 to 15 degrees between day and night.

However, from October 1, the first day of next month, the weather is expected to shift rapidly.

As cold air moves down from the north, daytime highs on the day after tomorrow will drop sharply—by about 5 degrees from tomorrow—to 21 to 24 degrees Celsius. On the morning of October 2, temperatures will plummet to lows of 10 to 14 degrees, and on October 3, further down to 9 to 13 degrees, marking the onset of autumn chills.

An official from the Gwangju Meteorological Administration advised, "Please pay close attention to traffic safety due to dense fog on the morning commute tomorrow," adding, "From the day after tomorrow, a rapid drop in temperature and strong winds from incoming cold air will increase the chill factor, so please take extra care with health management during the seasonal transition and thoroughly inspect facilities."
