It's already the last day of October, and it's still hard to see beautifully colored autumn leaves this year.

Today, the YTN relay car is out to observe the "first autumn leaves" of Seoul. Castor Lee Hyemin!

[Caster]
Yes, it's at the Seoul Meteorological Observatory.

You visited a special place today, didn't you?

[Caster]
Yes. This is the place where the Korea Meteorological Administration used to be, and now it is operated as an observation station to observe official Seoul weather such as temperature and precipitation.

In particular, the autumn leaves of Seoul are based on the standard trees here. This is the tree.

In Seoul, it is recorded as the first autumn leaves when 20% of the maple trees are colored, and the peak when 80% of the maple trees are colored.

However, I can see more green leaves now, and it is currently about 10% stained, so it cannot be officially said that the autumn leaves in Seoul have still begun.

This year, the autumn leaves are colored late due to the long late heat and volatile autumn weather.

The last autumn leaves were observed in Hallasan Mountain yesterday (29th).

In the case of Seoraksan Mountain, the autumn leaves have finally reached their peak.

Inland autumn leaves have not yet begun, with official autumn leaves yet to begin in Naejangsan Mountain, and the first autumn leaves in Bukhansan Mountain, Seoul, about a week ago.

For the time being, the inland area will be clear and the daily temperature difference will be large.

However, between tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, rain and wind will blow mainly in the south and Jeju Island, and the temperature is expected to drop significantly after that.

Therefore, we will gradually speed up the autumn leaves from early next week.As the temperature of

drops sharply, you should dress warmly if you go on a maple outing.

So far, at the Seoul Meteorological Observatory, this is YTN Lee Hye-min.
