Details

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) provides only 3 days forecast of temperature, precipitation, and wind. For 5 days forecast, they only provide weather and temperature information. The same data is available in machine-readable formats via Web APIs, but it requires the pre-registration step.

Recorded data for temperature, precipitation, and wind for the last year or so is available on the site called "National Climate Data Service System (NCDSS)," and it is publicly available in machine-readable formats.

All the datasets are not openly licensed, but copyrighted by KMA.
