As we approach the end of December in Gwangju, South Korea, the weather remains cool with a variety of conditions expected over the next few days that are sure to catch the attention of residents and visitors alike.
Thursday, December 26, 2024
Expect a chilly start to the day with a minimum temperature of 0Β°C (32Β°F) and a maximum reaching around 6Β°C (43Β°F). Overall, the day will feature partly cloudy skies in the morning, transitioning to clear conditions later. With sunrise at 7:39 AM and sunset by 5:27 PM, you can enjoy nearly 10 hours of sunlight! However, do not let the sunshine fool you; the temperature will feel a bit colder due to a light breeze coming in from the northwest that could gust up to 29 km/h (18 mph). Humidity will begin at a comfortable 83% but drop to around 51% by afternoon, making it a good day for outdoor activities, provided you layer up to stay warm!

A slight dip in temperatures can be expected, with readings ranging from -2Β°C (28Β°F) at night to a maximum of 6Β°C (42Β°F). The day will begin with partly cloudy skies, but you can anticipate patchy rain in the afternoon, so it's advisable to keep an umbrella handy if you plan to be outdoors. Visibility should remain excellent at 10 kilometers, but with the clouds creeping in, the chance of frost is quite high in the early hours. After a quick morning cloud cover, expect mostly sunny conditions later in the day, which could make it feel slightly warmer than the actual temperature.

A colder front will move in, leading to light snow showers throughout the day. With temperatures dropping to a chilly minimum of -1Β°C (30Β°F) and only reaching a high of 4Β°C (40Β°F), you will definitely need to bundle up! The chance of precipitation is significant, particularly in the morning, and it might be wise to stay indoors if possible. Be cautious of potentially slippery sidewalks due to snow accumulation. UV indexes remain low, but the chance for snow accumulation could add up to 0.5 cm throughout the day, which is rather unusual for Gwangju.
