Thursday’s Nationwide Sunny Forecast Brings Clear Skies and Cool Temperatures Across South Korea

Updated (38 articles)

Uniform Sunny Outlook for All Major Cities At 9:01 a.m. on Thursday, Yonhap’s latest bulletin lists Seoul, Incheon, Suwon, Cheongju, Daejeon, Chuncheon, Gangneung, Jeonju, Gwangju, Jeju, Daegu and Busan all under clear skies with a 0 % chance of rain, confirming a nationwide dry spell [1].

Temperature Spread From Sub‑Zero Lows to Mild Daytime Highs Seoul will reach a high of 7 °C and dip to –2 °C overnight, while coastal hubs such as Busan and Gangneung see daytime highs of 12 °C and nighttime lows just above freezing; the coldest night is forecast for Chuncheon at –6 °C [1].

Earlier Forecasts Show Consistent Warm‑Day Trend, Minor Rain‑Chance Discrepancy The Feb 18 report also projected 0 % rain across the same cities, with highs from 5 °C (Incheon) to 13 °C (Busan) and a cloudy note only for Chuncheon [2]. The Feb 17 bulletin differed by assigning a 10 % rain probability to Gwangju and Busan, though all other locations remained at 0 % [3]; this variance highlights a slight adjustment in precipitation expectations between the two earlier days.

Travel and Commute Implications Amid Cool Night Temperatures Zero‑rain forecasts simplify travel plans and encourage outdoor activities on Thursday, yet sub‑zero lows in inland areas such as Suwon (‑4 °C) and Daejeon (‑3 °C) may require additional precautions for early‑morning commuters [1][3].
