Hello everyone! The weather has been so unpredictable lately, hasn’t it? One moment it’s sunny, the next it’s cloudy, making us ponder our outfits daily.
But honestly, I felt compelled to write this post urgently because we need to pay extra attention to tomorrow’s weather. On Saturday, April 4th, significant rainfall is forecast nationwide.
It’s not just rain; there are many aspects to be cautious about, so preparing in advance is truly important. I’ll tell you all the details!
‘Spring Rain’ Across the Nation: How Long Will It Last?
Tomorrow (April 4th), rain is expected across most parts of the country starting in the morning. Fortunately, it’s expected to clear up by afternoon in most areas, but Gangwon inland and mountainous regions, as well as Chungbuk, might see rain continue until late afternoon.
Jeju Island, in particular, seems to be most affected by this rain. The expected rainfall is quite substantial, 30-80mm, with some mountainous areas receiving over 150mm. Those with travel plans to Jeju should be especially careful. There will be periods of heavy concentrated rain, so it’s a good idea to frequently check the Korea Meteorological Administration forecast.
- Seoul, Incheon, Northern Gyeonggi: 5-20mm
- Southern Gyeonggi, Chungcheong region, Jeonbuk, Daegu, Gyeongbuk: 10-40mm
- Gwangju, Jeonnam, Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam inland: 20-60mm
- Jeju Island: 30-80mm (mountainous areas over 150mm)
It’s Not Just Rain! Prepare for Strong Winds and Temperature Changes
This rain might not be just a gentle spring shower. We need to be extra cautious because strong winds and significant temperature changes are expected along with the rain.
Coastal areas of Jeju Island, Jeonnam, and Gyeongsang-do are expected to experience very strong winds with momentary gusts exceeding 20m/s, and Jeju mountainous areas over 25m/s. This is strong enough to warrant a strong wind advisory.
Most other regions nationwide may also experience strong winds around 15m/s, so pay attention to outdoor facilities like signboards and greenhouses. The morning low temperatures will range from 8-14 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs from 14-21 degrees Celsius, indicating a significant daily temperature difference, so you’ll need to consider your clothing carefully.
Tomorrow’s Weather: How to Prepare Perfectly!
So, how should we prepare for tomorrow’s weather? Here are a few tips:
- Always carry an umbrella: Rain is expected in most parts of the country, so an umbrella is essential when going out!
- Dress in layers: Due to the large daily temperature difference, it might be chilly in the morning and evening but mild during the day, so it’s good to wear thin layers.
- Be careful with traffic safety: Roads become slippery and visibility decreases when it rains. Remember to maintain a safe distance and drive slowly. Coastal bridges and riverside roads, in particular, can have dense fog, so be extra cautious.
- Inspect facilities: To prepare for strong winds, it’s safer to secure or remove outdoor facilities like signboards and greenhouses that could shake or fly away.
- Check flights: Strong winds might disrupt flight operations, so air travelers should check flight information in advance.
Tomorrow might be a bit inconvenient due to rain and wind, but knowing in advance and preparing will make it much safer and more comfortable. Everyone, please check tomorrow’s weather forecast once more starting this evening, and have a safe and healthy weekend!
