South Korea to see autumn temperatures, fog and light rain in some areas
South Korea is forecast to have mild autumn weather on Oct.
30, with temperatures near the seasonal average.
Fog after overnight cooling is limiting visibility in parts of the country, and drivers should take care during the morning commute.
Highs are expected to reach 16 to 21 degrees Celsius, with a temperature difference of about 15 degrees between day and night in many areas.
A passing weather system may bring less than 1 millimeter of rain late at night to parts of eastern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous Gangwon, and northern Chungcheong.
Strong winds are expected in Gangwon, where increasingly dry conditions could increase the risk of fire.
Near-average temperatures are forecast to continue until Sunday morning.
