Commute Weather Rain Clears in Seoul Metropolitan Area…High of 15°C During the Day

On Monday the 2nd, the Seoul Metropolitan Area including Seoul and Suwon will see the raindrops that fell in the early morning hours clear, with clear skies returning from morning. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the minimum temperature this morning will be 8–9°C, and the daytime high will be around 15°C. During commute hours (07–09 hours), cool air will be prevalent due to the influence of northwestern winds.

Air Pollution and Fine Dust Information

• Fine Dust and Ultrafine Dust Concentrations 'Good' to 'Moderate': Due to smooth atmospheric dispersion and the effects of precipitation, air quality across the Seoul Metropolitan Area will remain generally clear. The Seoul and southern Gyeonggi Province regions will maintain 'good' levels for both fine dust (PM-10) and ultrafine dust (PM-2.5).

Commute Clothing Guide

• Create a Layered Look: Commute temperatures in the morning will be around 8°C and chilly, but will rise to 15°C during the day, creating a large daily temperature range. It is advisable to layer thin tops with a trench coat, jacket, or thin padded vest to regulate body temperature.

• Utilize a Scarf: Since the felt temperature can drop due to northwestern winds, wearing a light muffler or scarf will help maintain body temperature.

Health Management Tips During Clear Weather

• Immunity Management in Preparation for Large Daily Temperature Range: This is a time when immunity tends to weaken due to the difference between chilly morning and evening air and daytime temperatures. It is good to drink warm water or tea before commuting to raise body temperature.

• Sunscreen and Skin Moisturization: As clear skies continue, ultraviolet index levels may rise during the day, so it is important to apply sunscreen and pay attention to skin moisturization.
