<Anchor> The
whole country was frozen in the cold wave of the world, and Seoul's sensational temperature drops below -17 degrees Celsius.
Heavy snow is also forecast on the west coast, so let’s connect a weather caster in Yeouido, Seoul.
Caster Ahn Soo-jin, is it really cold today (30th)?
<Caster>
Yes, it is really cold.
You should wear as much as you can wear warm today.
Even though I wore gloves, earplugs and 5 layers of clothes, my body keeps trembling from this cold.
In particular, the wind is blowing so strongly that it feels colder.
Currently, cold wave warnings are issued in the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and in the northeastern part of Gyeonggi-do.
The current temperature of Mt. Gwangdeok is -20.8 degrees Celsius and the perceived temperature has dropped to -31.4 degrees Celsius.
The cold breeze that you feel in Seoul is below -18.4 degrees Celsius.
The cold air passes through the warm West Sea, and as you can see now, snow clouds have developed strongly in these areas.
Heavy snow warnings have been issued in the mountainous areas of Jeju, and heavy snow warnings are in effect in Jeju and some of the inland areas of Chungcheong and Honam.
For three days until the first day of the new year, it is expected that a maximum of 30cm or more will be poured in western Honam and 50cm or more in the mountains of Jeju and Ulleungdo Dokdo.
Even during today's day, the temperature across the country will remain below zero and it will be cold.
The temperature will rise slightly during the day on Friday, the first day of the new year, but the colder weather will last longer until next week.
