SEOUL– South Korea witnessed the coldest day of the season on Tuesday with the morning low falling to 7.4 C in Seoul, the state weather agency said.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), early winter weather occurred across the country under the influence of high pressure and influx of cold air from the northwest.
The lowest daily temperature in Seoul will further drop to 7 C on Wednesday, about 3 C lower than the 30-year average for mid-October, the KMA said, noting some inland regions will witness a morning low of 5 C.
