Temperatures and snow
Morning lows are forecast at 3 to 10 degrees and daytime highs at 11 to 18. Mornings should be near normal but daytime highs slightly below, so it may feel chilly all day. High Gangwon ground above 1,200 metres gets rain or snow from the morning.
The report gave no snowfall amount for the Gangwon mountains, so hikers and drivers should check summit temperatures and road conditions separately. We will update if the KMA issues a revised forecast.
