Updated (2 articles)
Saturday Forecast Encompasses Twelve Major Cities at 9:01 a.m. The Yonhap bulletin released on 2025‑12‑19 lists Seoul, Incheon, Suwon, Gangneung, Daegu, Busan and nine other municipalities, all measured at 9:01 a.m. on Saturday [1]. Each city’s high and low temperatures, weather condition and rain probability are tabulated, providing a uniform snapshot for the nation’s most populated areas. The report serves as the latest official meteorological guidance for the weekend.
Temperature Span Ranges From Eight to Twenty Degrees Celsius Across the twelve cities, daytime highs vary between 8 °C in the colder locales and 20 °C in the warmest, while nighttime lows fall between 3 °C and 13 °C [1]. Seoul records a high of 11 °C and a low of 9 °C, whereas Busan reaches a high of 19 °C and a low of 12 °C. These figures illustrate a modest north‑south thermal gradient on Saturday.
Rain Probability Dominates Except Two Sunny Designations Most cities carry a 60 % chance of precipitation, indicating a broadly wet outlook for Saturday [1]. Daegu and Busan are uniquely labeled “sunny” yet retain the same 60 % rain probability, highlighting a forecast nuance where clear skies may still be accompanied by showers. Gangneung stands out as the only city with a reduced 30 % rain chance and cloudy skies.
Friday’s Forecast Showed Cooler Lows and Predominantly Cloudy Skies The preceding day’s report (2025‑12‑18) listed Seoul, Incheon and Suwon with lows at or below 0 °C and cloudy conditions, each with a 30 % rain chance [2]. Busan was forecast sunny with a 60 % rain probability, while Gangneung enjoyed sunny skies and only a 20 % chance of rain. Comparing the two days reveals a slight warming trend and a shift from mostly cloudy to more rain‑focused predictions.
