This weekend promises a noticeable difference between daytime warmth and nighttime coolness across the mainland, with temperature variations potentially reaching up to 15 degrees Celsius. While overall temperatures will remain similar to average for this time of year, the significant diurnal temperature range will be a key feature of the weather.
Understanding the Weather Patterns
The weather patterns are influenced by the movement of a high-pressure system. On Saturday, October 12th, a high-pressure system originating from the northeastern part of China will move eastward over the Yellow Sea and then towards the East Sea. By Sunday, October 13th, its center will be located over the East Sea, positioning South Korea in a way that will experience its influence.
This high-pressure system is associated with cooler air descending from the north. Consequently, the weekend is expected to be generally cool. However, a combination of this cool air and radiative cooling overnight will make the mornings feel particularly crisp, especially in central and southern inland areas on Saturday.
Saturday’s Forecast
For Saturday, October 12th, the lowest temperatures are predicted to range between 12 and 20 degrees Celsius. The highest daytime temperatures are expected to reach between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. Specific major cities will experience the following temperature ranges:
