South Korean Weather Forecast Shows Mostly Sunny Skies With Temperatures From 5°C to 13°C on Feb 18, 2026

Updated (33 articles)

Overall Sunny Outlook Across All Major Cities All twelve major cities are expected to experience clear or partly cloudy skies on Wednesday, with no rain reported in any location according to the 9:01 a.m. forecast released on Feb 18 [1]. The earlier Tuesday forecast also described predominantly sunny conditions, noting only a minimal chance of precipitation in most areas [2]. Both reports emphasize that the weather will remain dry across the peninsula for the day.

Temperature Ranges From Incheon to Busan Daytime highs will vary between a low of 5 °C in Incheon and a high of 13 °C in Busan, while Seoul will reach 6 °C and Jeju Island will see a high of 12 °C [1][2]. Nighttime lows span from –5 °C in Chuncheon to a relatively mild 4 °C on Jeju Island, making Jeju the warmest location overnight [1][2]. These temperature bands are consistent across both forecasts, confirming a modest north‑south gradient.

Nighttime Lows Dip Below Freezing Inland Inland cities such as Suwon (‑4 °C), Cheongju (‑3 °C), Daejeon (‑3 °C) and Chuncheon (‑5 °C) are projected to fall below the freezing point during the early morning hours on Tuesday [2]. The Feb 18 update repeats the sub‑zero lows for Chuncheon (‑5 °C) but does not list specific inland city values, focusing instead on the overall low range [1]. The cold night temperatures are expected to persist despite the clear skies.

Rain Probability Discrepancy Between Forecasts The Feb 18 report lists a 0 % chance of rain for every city, including Busan and Gwangju, which contrasts with the Feb 17 forecast that assigned a 10 % rain probability to those two locations [1][2]. This inconsistency suggests a revision in precipitation expectations between the two days. All other cities maintain a 0 % rain chance in both reports.
