Sunday Forecast Brings Mild Temperatures and Modest Rain Chances Across South Korea

Updated (81 articles)

Nationwide mild temperatures and limited precipitation on Sunday Across the 12 major cities, daytime highs range from 8 °C in Incheon to 21 °C in Daegu, while nighttime lows sit between 4 °C and 12 °C. Rain probabilities stay low, with most locations at 10‑20 % and only Gangneung, Daegu and Busan reporting a 0 % chance [1]. The overall pattern reflects a cool, partly wet day rather than the dry, sunny conditions seen earlier in the week.

Seoul experiences cool day with moderate rain chance The capital records an 11 °C high and a 9 °C low, accompanied by a 20 % chance of rain, indicating the highest precipitation risk in the country [1]. Cloud cover dominates the Seoul metropolitan area, contrasting with the clear skies reported for the capital on preceding days [2][3][4][5][6]. Despite the rain risk, temperatures remain above freezing, limiting any severe weather concerns.

Southern coastal cities remain dry under cloudy skies Daegu (21 °C/8 °C) and Busan (19 °C/12 °C) both show cloud cover but maintain a 0 % rain probability, offering the driest conditions in the south [1]. These cities also posted the warmest daytime highs for the day, reinforcing the regional temperature gradient. Their dry outlook aligns with the consistently rain‑free forecasts for the southern coast earlier in the week [2][3][4][5][6].

Central and eastern regions face slightly higher rain probabilities Cheongju, Daejeon, Jeonju and Gwangju each carry a 10‑20 % chance of rain, with daytime highs between 14 °C and 16 °C and lows around 8‑9 °C [1]. Chuncheon shows a 20 % rain chance with a cooler 11 °C high and 4 °C low, while nearby Gangneung remains dry at 16 °C/10 °C and 0 % rain [1]. These modest precipitation risks mark a subtle shift from the near‑zero rain odds reported from February 17‑21 [2][3][4][5][6].

Week‑long trend confirms predominantly sunny weather with minimal rain Forecasts from February 17 through 21 consistently described sunny or mostly sunny conditions, rain probabilities never exceeding 20 %, and temperature ranges similar to Sunday’s values [2][3][4][5][6]. No severe weather alerts were issued throughout the period, suggesting stable winter weather despite the slight increase in cloudiness and rain chances on Sunday.
