Skies will remain mostly overcast across the country on Tuesday, with rain forecast for parts of southern Gyeonggi Province and the Chungcheong region. Morning lows are expected to range from 7 to 19 degrees Celsius and afternoon highs from 19 to 22 degrees, so residents should prepare for a wide daily temperature swing.

In the Greater Seoul area, rain is expected to begin falling from the evening, particularly in southern Gyeonggi Province.

The Chungcheong region will see rain from late afternoon into the night, while southern inland areas and mountain zones of Gangwon Province can expect showers overnight.

Rainfall totals are forecast at under 5 millimeters for southern Gyeonggi Province and the southern inland and mountain areas of Gangwon Province, and between 5 and 10 millimeters for the Chungcheong region.

Some rain is also possible in the Jeolla and Gyeongsang regions and on Jeju Island, though conditions are expected to ease in the morning.

Drivers should exercise caution in areas receiving rain, as reduced visibility and slippery road surfaces are possible.

Dense fog with visibility below 1 kilometer is forecast from early morning through mid-morning in inland parts of Gyeonggi Province, inland areas and mountain zones of Gangwon Province, inland South Chungcheong Province, central and northern North Chungcheong Province, and northern inland areas of North Gyeongsang Province.

Wave heights are expected to reach 0.5 to 1.5 meters in coastal waters of the East Sea and Yellow Sea, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters along the South Sea coast.

In offshore waters roughly 200 kilometers from the coastline, wave heights of 0.5 to 2.0 meters are forecast across the East Sea, Yellow Sea and South Sea.

With temperatures falling sharply, retailers have begun putting fall and winter clothing on display.
