This weekend, which is the first weekend following social distancing is lifted, is generally sunny and the daytime temperature rises to 25 degrees or higher, so it is good to do outdoor activities.
High pressure is expected to pass through Korea on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th.
As the south wind blows between this high pressure and the low pressure located in southwest China, hot and humid air will flow into Korea.
As a result, the temperature will rise significantly to the level of the end of May.
There are not many clouds in the sky over the weekend, so the sun is expected to shine strongly during the day, but this will also encourage a rise in temperature.
Daytime temperatures are expected to exceed 25 degrees Celsius in the southern part of the country.
In the southern inland, the temperature rises to 26-28 degrees during the day, and in Daegu and other basins in particular, the temperature may exceed 30 degrees.
In central regions such as Seoul, the daytime temperature will be over 20 degrees.
As the temperature rises significantly, the atmosphere is expected to become drier.
Currently, as the pressure valley passes through the southern seas of Jeju, it is pouring rain on Jeju and the southern coast.
On Friday, the 22nd, cold air from the north will develop a rain cloud belt and rain will fall in the metropolitan area and Gangwon inland and mountainous areas.
On the 21st and 22nd, it will rain loudly with thunder and lightning, but the amount is less than 5 mm, so it will not be helpful for the sun.
The risk of forest fires is expected to increase as the winds pick up in a dry atmosphere.

Currently, high pressure is located in the south of Korea and low pressure is located in the north, but as the gap between other high pressures and low pressures approaching from the west is narrowing, a gust of wind with an instantaneous wind speed of 70 to 110 km per hour (20 to 30 ㎧) will blow on the 22nd.
Next Monday, the 25th, as a low pressure developed from the southwest passes, it will rain heavily in Jeju and southern regions.
As the low pressure approaches from the west, it is expected that a lot of water vapor will flow in to develop a rain cloud belt once, and as the same low pressure exits to the east, dry air from the west sinks and creates a rain cloud belt once more.
The rain that started in Honam on the 25th will spread to the whole country and will stop around the dawn of the 26th.
Precipitation in Jeju and southern regions is expected to be 30-80 mm, but in places with heavy rain, it will fall more than 100 mm. Precipitation in the central region is expected to be 5-40 mm.
Strong winds are expected on the 25th and 26th.
The south wind blows ahead of the low pressure and the north wind blows strongly behind it.
After the rain, the temperature is expected to drop.
“If the intensity of warm air blowing from the south and cold air coming down from the north is strong, the low pressure will develop strongly, which will widen the precipitation concentration zone and increase the amount of precipitation,” said Woo Jin-gyu, a forecast analyst at the Korea Meteorological Administration. Since it is so big, I asked them to check the latest weather information.
