The 'first autumn leaves' have begun in Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island.
It's 15 days late compared to previous years, but it's the latest autumn leaves because of weather observation.
Seoraksan Mountain has reached its peak of autumn leaves, and it is also a late autumn leaves.
You can see a maple tree that has changed its colorful and bright clothes through the green trees.
This is the first picture of the autumn leaves of Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island, which was taken at the Korea Meteorological Administration yesterday (29th).
At the time of filming, it was cloudy with a little rain in Jeju Island, and the temperature was about 12 degrees Celsius, which was chilly.
The first fall foliage refers to when about 20% of the mountain is colored downward from the top of the mountain, and in Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island, the "first fall foliage" was observed the latest in 33 years since its observation in 1991.
The record is 19 days later than last year and 15 days later than previous years.
Fall foliage began late in most of the country this year due to the late heat.
Jeju Island has set all-time records for heat waves and tropical nights this fall, and autumn leaves are also the latest record ever.
[Woo Jin-gyu / YTN Nan Advisory Committee, Korea Meteorological Administration Information Officer: The first fall foliage, the latest since the observation, was observed in Hallasan this year. Usually, the 'first autumn leaves' begin around October 16 and peak at the end of October, but the first autumn leaves began at the peak of this year.
Seoraksan Mountain, where the first autumn leaves began on the 21st, also experienced a late peak of autumn leaves, with about 80% of the mountains colored with autumn leaves.
The first autumn leaves have begun in Bukhansan and other inland areas.
This year, autumn leaves are not as beautiful as before due to late heat and volatile autumn weather.
In Seoul, the maple tree observation standard at the Songwol-dong Meteorological Observatory should be colored more than 20% to be considered the official first maple tree, but it has not begun even now at the end of October.
I'm very worried that the maple front, which rarely speeds up, and the climate crisis are projected as it is.
