[기상센터][날씨] Heavy snowfall inland from daytime… to -10℃ cold wave due to typhoon-class strong winds

[앵커]

Heavy snow is expected to pour in many parts of the country from today’s daytime, and even typhoon-class winds are expected to blow, so traffic disruption on the way home from work is a concern.

In addition, after the snow stops, a strong cold below -10 degrees is expected to come.

The warm weather like early spring brought spring flowers to bloom.

Red plum blossoms and forsythia bloomed in the south, and vegetation plants bloomed a month earlier than usual in Seoul.

But from today, the weather returns to midwinter again.

From daytime, it is expected that heavy snow will pour over Seoul and other parts of the interior.

A lot of snow is expected to accumulate 10cm in eastern Gyeonggi and Yeongseo, and 1-5cm in Seoul.

On the west coast, Jeju Island, and Ulleungdo and Dokdo, snow continues until tomorrow, and heavy snowfalls of up to 15cm are expected.

In particular, the cold wind blows strongly and the temperature drops sharply, so on the way home from work, a bitter cold in the sub-zero zone will come.

If snow removal is not carried out in time, the road will inevitably turn into an icy road.

Following heavy snow and cold waves, you need to be careful about strong winds.

This is because a small typhoon-class gust was predicted between this afternoon and tomorrow morning, with a speed of at least 25m per second between the coast and mountains and around 20m per second even in the inland.

It can blow up mouth signs, exterior walls of buildings, and tents at screening clinics.

[박수진 / 기상청 예보분석관 : 북쪽에서 찬 공기가 강하게 내려와 전국적으로 시속 25~65km의 매우 강한 바람이 불겠습니다. 야외 설치된 시설물이 파손되지 않고, 낙하물에 의한 2차 피해 입지 않도록 유의하시기 바랍니다.]

The Meteorological Administration said that heavy snow and strong wind warnings will be issued during the day and cold wave warnings will take effect tomorrow morning, and asked to be prepared to prevent damage from occurring.
