You should prepare for the cold this weekend.



As the temperature drops further from tonight, the morning temperature in Seoul is expected to be minus 13 degrees tomorrow, which is a holiday, and will show the lowest temperature this winter.



In this cold weather, heavy snow will fall centering on Jeju and the west coast, but as snow clouds approach from the west coast, heavy snow warnings have been issued in Chungnam, Honam, and Jeju mountains.



If you look at the amount of snow expected today and tomorrow, heavy snow of up to 50 cm or more is expected in the Jeju mountains and up to 25 cm or more in the west coast of Honam.



In Seoul, less than 1cm of snow will fall from this morning to afternoon.



It snows a lot, so be careful of strong winds.



Strong winds will blow today and tomorrow in the mountainous and coastal areas of Gangwon, while on the other hand, there are more dry areas in the east coast, so you need to be careful about fires.



This cold wave will ease a little by the middle of next week, and it is expected that it will snow again next Wednesday across the country.
