It is the first weekend of the new year. Nevertheless, the strong cold continues.
If you look at the temperature in the morning of today (2nd), Seoul has gone down to minus 8.4 degrees Celsius.
Among inland areas, Cheorwon, Gangwon-do, was the lowest at 15.3 degrees below zero.
These regions will stay below freezing all day, as temperatures do not rise during the day.
Seoul will stop at 1 degree below zero and Cheorwon at 3 below zero.
The strong cold will continue tomorrow, a holiday.
Also, it will snow around the west coast until tomorrow morning.
There are many things that are slippery because the roads are frozen in the subzero cold.
Today, there will be a little more 5 to 10m of snow on Ulleungdo and Dokdo, where heavy snow warnings have been issued.
It will snow sporadically during the day on the west coast of Jeolla and the mountains of Jeju.
On the other hand, construction warnings are being expanded in effect, focusing on the East Coast where there is no news of snow and rain.
Especially in the Yeongdong area of Gangwon-do, there is a dry warning, so please pay more attention to the management of embers.
If you look at the daytime temperature, Seoul is 1 degrees below zero, Daejeon is 1 degrees, and Busan is 6 degrees, and the southern regions are similar to yesterday.
Temperatures will rise until the beginning of the week, but from the middle of the week there will be another strong cold wave and heavy snow is expected.
We need to prepare in advance.
