[Weather] It's mild on the college entrance exam, but it rains all over the country in the afternoon...a large daily temperature difference

In three days, it's the exam day of this year.

There will be no "cold wave" this year like last year, but it is expected to rain starting in the northwest from the afternoon.

We will connect reporters to find out more about the weather forecast for the CSAT.

Reporter Kim Min-kyung, you don't have to worry about the 'CSAT cold' again this year?

[Reporter]
Yes, as last week's early cold warms up over the weekend, mild weather is expected to be 4 to 8 degrees above normal this week.

There won't be much cold on both the CSAT day and the preliminary call-up day.

On Thursday, the 14th, the day of the College Scholastic Ability Test, the morning temperature in Seoul will rise to 11 degrees and daytime temperatures will rise to 17 degrees, far exceeding 5 to 7 degrees from previous years.

However, care should be taken in health care such as colds and respiratory diseases, as there are likely to be places where the temperature difference between morning and day is around 10 degrees.

Last year, the morning temperature in Seoul was 6.6 degrees, so there was no big cold.

Of the 31 CSATs held in November since 1993, only eight were cold below zero,

Even in 1998, when it was the coldest, the lowest temperature in Seoul was only minus 5.3 degrees Celsius.

It will rain from the afternoon of the test day, how long will it rain?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is expected to rain from Thursday afternoon, the day of the CSAT, due to the influence of the pressure trough passing north of the Korean Peninsula.

It will be mostly cloudy in the morning, and rain will begin in the northwest in the afternoon and gradually expand to most parts of the country.

Although there is no exact precipitation, the Korea Meteorological Administration said there is not much precipitation and it is unlikely to be accompanied by dangerous weather such as thunder and lightning.

Most of the waves are expected to remain 0.5-2m at sea, so there will be no major inconvenience in using the sea route.

This rain is expected to continue until the day after the college entrance exam, so test takers should take an umbrella.
