Morning temperatures ranged from 13.7 C in Jangsu to 16.9 C in Jeonju. Scattered drizzle was possible in the afternoon, and strong-wind preliminary advisories were issued for islands off Gunsan and Buan, with waves of 1.5 to 3 meters in the southern West Sea.
Why it matters
The forecast is a routine regional weather outlook, but the coastal wind advisories and sea warnings are relevant to residents and shipping around Gunsan and Buan. Daytime temperatures about 2 degrees below average and possible drizzle affect ordinary outdoor plans across the province.
