It is unusually bitter for a cold wave in February.
In the morning of this morning (the 17th), the temperature in Seoul fell below minus 10 degrees, and in many areas, including minus 14.5 degrees in Paju, the temperature dropped to around minus 10 degrees.
Even if the temperature rises significantly during the day compared to the morning, it continues to hover below freezing at this time, but the actual perceived temperature is lower than this.
Please dress warmly.
The atmosphere is drying up.
A drying advisory has been issued mainly in Seoul and the east.
The effective humidity is less than 40%, making it an environment prone to major fire accidents.
It is recommended to look around carefully.
The skies across the country are clear now, and the air quality is clean as the wind blows.
Today inland, the weather will be clear with no rain or snow forecast.
However, it may rain or snow in Jeju Island.
The cold will subside for a while from tomorrow afternoon, but the temperature will drop sharply again from the weekend.
