On the 28th, the entire country is expected to be generally warm, with daytime temperatures reaching up to 17 degrees Celsius.
The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts that the morning lows will range from minus 4 to 6 degrees Celsius, while the daytime highs will be between 8 and 17 degrees Celsius. These temperatures are more than 5 degrees above the average for this time of year.
Due to the influence of high pressure situated to the east, the easterly winds crossing the Taebaek Mountains are expected to rise in temperature and become dry, leading to increased temperatures in the metropolitan, Honam, and Chungcheong areas. Warm weather is also expected to continue on Sunday, March 1st, with morning lows between minus 2 and 8 degrees Celsius and daytime highs of 7 to 16 degrees Celsius.
The metropolitan area and inland Gangwon, where a dry weather advisory is in effect, are expected to remain very dry. The continuation of the easterly winds means the dry weather advisory is likely to remain in place. As strong winds could cause even a small spark to ignite into a large fire, caution is advised to prevent fires.
On the last day of the holiday, March 2nd, the entire country, including the metropolitan area, is expected to experience rain or snow due to the influence of a low-pressure system. With clouds blocking the sunlight, daytime highs on the 2nd are expected to remain between 5 and 11 degrees Celsius. A spokesperson for the Korea Meteorological Administration warned that the low-pressure system, moving from near Shanghai, China, to the sea south of Jeju Island, could cause rough waves that may crash onto the beaches or surpass rocks and breakwaters, so it is important to remain vigilant about safety accidents.
