Tomorrow (28)-29 days, the temperature drops sharply and a strong typhoon wind blows. In addition, it is predicted that there will be a lot of snow in some areas.
The Meteorological Administration predicted that from tomorrow afternoon to the morning of the 30th, in addition to the strong cold with a minimum temperature of below -10 degrees Celsius and a maximum instantaneous wind speed of 90 km/h, snow at the level of a heavy snow warning will hit the center of the central and southern mountains.
Tomorrow, it will snow or rain in most parts of the country (excluding parts of the eastern part of Gyeongsang-do) as the cyclone accompanied by precipitation clouds passes through the north of Korea.
It is analyzed that rain or sleet starts to fall from the west in the morning of tomorrow and expands to most parts of the country during the day, and during the day when cold air begins to flow in, the rain that used to fall turns into snow, and the intensity will increase once.
Afterwards, the cold air quickly pushed the snow cloud belt to the southeast, and snow in most regions would cease in the evening, but snow is expected to continue until the morning of the 29th in the Chungcheong area, Jeolla area, and Jeju Island due to the effect of the snow cloud area developed at sea.
There is a possibility that a heavy snowfall warning may be announced as the amount of snowfall by region accumulates up to 10 cm or more in the eastern part of Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon-do (excluding the east coast), and up to 15 cm or more in the interior of the eastern part of Jeolla, where the influence of the sea snow cloud continues.
Rain or sleet that had been falling in other areas turned into snow, and it was expected that 1 to 5 cm of snow would accumulate as it fell strongly in a short time.
In particular, the atmosphere is very unstable, and it is expected that there will be places where thunder and lightning occur during snow or rain (including both land and sea).
The Meteorological Administration asked for traffic safety on the way home from work, as it is expected that there will be many places where the snow falls from freezing due to the sharply dropping temperature from tomorrow afternoon.
The Meteorological Administration also said that the time of rain and snowfall may change even with a slight difference in temperature of 1 to 2 degrees Celsius, and even within the same area, there may be a large difference in the amount of snowfall depending on the altitude and topography. It has announced that it will release weather information containing the exact type of precipitation and the start point.
An official from the Meteorological Administration said, "In the case of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province (excluding the eastern part), there is a high possibility that the road will become an icy road if the road is frozen in wet conditions due to rain rather than a lot of snow.
On the 28th to 29th, the temperature drops sharply as the snow news and very strong wind blows across the country.
The temperature will start to drop sharply from tomorrow afternoon when cold air is strongly inflow, and it is expected to be very cold until the morning of the 30th.
On the 29th to 30th, the minimum temperature in the morning will drop below -10 degrees Celsius in the middle of the central and southern mountainous regions.
The minimum temperature in the morning of the 29th is 12 degrees below zero in Seoul, 15 degrees below zero in Dongducheon, and 18 degrees below zero in Cheorwon.
In addition, a strong wind (25 to 65 km/h, 7 to 18 m/s) is blowing all over the country starting from the west sea islands tomorrow morning, and it is highly likely that a strong wind warning will be released in most regions.
In particular, it is expected that gusts of more than 90 km/h (25 m/s) per hour will occur momentarily in the coastal, Jeju Island, islands and mountains, and more than 70 km/h (20 m/sec) in other areas.
Along with this, it is expected that a storm warning will be issued as the wave rises very high, starting from the west sea in the early morning of tomorrow, and the strong wind in the south and east seas in the afternoon.
From the 31st, it is expected that cold waves and heavy snow will pass shortly as the temperature rises and the weather clears under the influence of western winds and mobile high pressure.
