On Sunday, November 1, 2026, Yonhap reported that weather across South Korea’s twelve major cities will show a pattern of higher rain probabilities in the north and clearer skies in the south, with temperatures ranging from 5 °C to 22 °C.

Regional Weather Overview
The forecast consistently signals higher odds of precipitation in the northern and central interior, with most cities in that area recording a rain probability between 60 % and 70 % and cooler daytime temperatures ranging from 10–14 °C. The southern part of the country, however, exhibits lower moisture ceilings, with sunshine probabilities ranging from 60 % to 70 % and warmer days, especially in Jeju, Gwangju, and Busan.
This variation aligns with the seasonal shift noted by meteorologists, illustrating the typical transition from a temperate to a subtropical pattern as one moves southward across the Korean Peninsula. The city‑to‑city spread in rainfall and temperature plenty indicates a clear geographical gradient, enabling local residents to tailor their travel, commute and recreational plans accordingly.
Residents of Seoul and nearby Metropolitan areas are advised to carry umbrellas or raincoats, while those in the southern coastal cities might enjoy outdoor activities under clear skies. The national weather agency’s bulletin, shared by Yonhap, encourages citizens to consult the local weather bulletin for hourly updates and possible changes in precipitation paths.
As the day begins, city commuters and leisure seekers will rely on Yonhap’s snapshot of the weather to decide whether to adjust their plans in light of the forecasted rain probabilities and temperature variations across South Korea’s key urban centers.
