, ‘(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Jae-young = The pattern of rain due to a passing low-pressure trough followed by cold winds as a continental high-pressure expands, leading to cold weather, will be repeated this weekend and Christmas.’,
,
, ‘According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 19th, there will be occasional rain from this afternoon to nighttime in Busan, Ulsan, eastern inland Gyeongnam, and the southern coast of Gyeongnam. This is due to southerly winds blowing from the edge of high pressure located over the southern sea of Japan.’,
,
, ‘On Saturday the 20th, rain will start early morning in the central regions, Honam, and Jeju, from morning in southern Gyeongnam and western Gyeongbuk, and from afternoon in northern inland and northeastern mountain areas of Gyeongbuk, continuing sporadically. Rain in Jeonnam, Gyeongnam, Jeju, and other areas is due to continued southerly winds, while in central regions and Gyeongbuk, it’s due to a low-pressure trough passing to the north of the Korean Peninsula.’,
,
, ‘On the 20th, the rain will mostly stop by late afternoon in central regions, and by nighttime in southern regions and Jeju.’,
,
, ‘Expected precipitation is 5-20mm in Jeju, 5-10mm on the Jeonnam coast, around 5mm in Honam (excluding the Jeonnam coast), Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam, less than 5mm in the metropolitan area, the five western sea islands, inland and mountain areas of Gangwon, Chungcheong, western Gyeongbuk, northern inland and northeastern mountain areas of Gyeongbuk.’,

, ‘Once the rain stops, under the influence of the continental high-pressure system, it will become colder.’,
,
, ‘Until the 20th, as southerly winds blow, temperatures will exceed the average, with morning lows between 1-11°C and daytime highs between 7-19°C, making it unseasonably warm, but on the 21st, morning temperatures will drop to -7 to 5°C and daytime highs to 1-8°C, becoming cold.’,
,
, “With the temperature dropping dramatically in just one day and strong winds nationwide, it will feel much colder.”,
,
, ‘Temperatures will return to average levels by the afternoon of Monday the 22nd.’,
,
, ‘Afterwards, due to a low-pressure system passing through from the afternoon of the 23rd until the morning of Christmas Eve on the 24th (in Jeju, until the afternoon), it will rain nationwide. However, because temperatures are not low, most areas will see rain instead of snow, though in Gangwon and high mountain areas there could be snow.’,
,
, ‘Temperatures on the 23rd and 24th are expected to be between -3 and 9°C in the morning and 4 to 15°C in the afternoon, higher than average (-9 to 2°C in the morning, 1 to 10°C in the afternoon).’,
,
, ‘After rain through Christmas Eve, temperatures will drop again from Christmas, with expected temperatures from the 25th to the 29th ranging from -5 to 4°C in the mornings and 2 to 11°C in the afternoons, similar to or slightly higher than the average.’,
