The momentum of the Arctic Cold Wave is really fierce.
Because of this, the Han River also freezes and there is news of a freeze accident here and there.
Fortunately, starting from yesterday, the peak of this cold wave has passed, but today, the weekend, the same severe cold as yesterday will continue.
If you look at the current temperature, the temperature in Anheung-myeon, Hoengseong-gun, Gangwon-do, has dropped to -27.3 degrees Celsius, Uiseong and Jangsu are around -20 degrees Celsius, and Seoul is -16.4 degrees Celsius.
This severe cold will continue for the time being.
After that, even if the temperature gradually rises, it will still be below the normal level, and it is expected that it will return to the normal level only by day on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, even heavy snow warnings are in effect in Jeju, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo, where a lot of snow has already fallen amid this cold, and heavy snow is forecasted until tomorrow around these areas, so we need to prepare.
Up to 20cm or more will fall, and up to 5cm of snow will fall on the other west coasts by tomorrow.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the eastern region, where there is no news of snow or rain, is constantly dry, but strong winds blow here, so please be careful about fire accidents.
Today, the highest temperature for the day will be 7 degrees below zero in Seoul and 6 degrees below zero in Daejeon all day long.
Even after the weekend, snow forecasts are included in the Honam and Jeju areas.
