Another weekend’cold wave’ and heavy snow until Monday morning… ‘Emergency on the way to work’

Reporter Lee Han-hyung-The’strong cold’ is coming again this weekend, below -10 degrees Celsius. Heavy snows exceeding a maximum of 10 cm in the metropolitan area were also predicted.

On the 15th, the Meteorological Administration said, “A nationwide strong cold will come on weekends, from the 16th to the 17th, and there will be a lot of snow in the central region from the 17th to the 18th of Sundays.” There are many, so you need to pay special attention to traffic safety.”

The Meteorological Administration predicted that from this night, as cold air from the vicinity of Mongolia was introduced into Korea, the temperature would drop sharply and a snow cloud zone between the cold air and the warm sea would develop. Due to this, about 1-5cm of snow will fall on the west coast of Jeollabuk-do, the western part of the Jeollanam-do, and Jeju Island from early morning to morning on the 17th, and about 5~10cm of snow on Ulleungdo and Dokdo from daytime on the 16th to dawn on the 17th.

From the afternoon of the 17th to the 18th, the inflow of cold air is weakened for two days, and relatively warm air blows from the west, and the existing cold air is expected to hit the snow cloud belt. In particular, it was analyzed that in the morning of the 18th, the snow cloud zone will develop stronger due to the cold air coming from the northwest.

Citizens are rushing to work in the vicinity of Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the morning of the 7th following a strong cold wave accompanied by heavy snowfall. Reporter Lee Han-hyung-Estimated snowfall from the afternoon of the 17th to the afternoon of the 18th is 5-10cm in eastern Gyeonggi, Gangwon-do (excluding the east coast), and northern Chungbuk (more than 15cm in many places), and the metropolitan area and Chungnam, southern Chungbuk, inland Jeonbuk, and northern Gyeongbuk, excluding eastern Gyeonggi. It is about 2~7cm.

Also, the next day, the national minimum temperature is expected to drop by 5-10 degrees from the day. Currently, the cold weather warning has been in effect in the northern central region.

The Meteorological Administration predicted that there will be many places where the minimum temperature in the morning will drop below -10 degrees Celsius in the central region and southern inland as the inflow intensity of cold air increases. In particular, on the morning of the 16th, it is predicted that the central region will remain below -5 degrees Celsius and the southern regions will remain below 0 degrees, and the morning of the 17th, the morning temperature will drop to 15 degrees below zero, centering on the central inland.

An official from the Meteorological Administration said, “Recently, the temperature change around Korea has been larger than normal,” he said. “Please check the latest predicted snowfall through weather information that is continuously released on weekends.”
