On Monday, October 5, the last day of the National Foundation Day holiday, cloudy skies and rain are expected across the country, particularly in the central and Jeolla regions. From the afternoon, cold air from the north will cause temperatures to drop, accompanied by strong winds, leading to chilly weather.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, rain will fall in the central region, Jeolla, northwestern inland of North Gyeongsang, western inland of South Gyeongsang, and Jeju Island.
Expected rainfall amounts are 5 to 30 mm in Incheon, northern Gyeonggi, and the five western islands, 5 to 20 mm in the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and 5 to 10 mm in southern Seoul, southern Gyeonggi, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo.
