Late than usual and last year… Tomorrow, Chungnam West Coast, Jeolla Seo-bu, Jeju Snow
On the night of the 29th the first snow of this winter fell in Seoul and Incheon.
The Meteorological Administration announced that the first snow was observed in Seoul and Incheon as it snowed in the metropolitan area starting at 10:20 pm the same day.
The first snow in Seoul was 9 days later than normal (November 20) and 19 days later than last year (November 10).
The first snowfall in Seoul last year was the eighth since 1973, which fell early.
The first snow in Incheon was 6 days later than normal (November 23) and 7 days later than last year (November 22).
In the case of Seoul, it is recognized as the first snow when an observer witnesses snow falling at the Seoul Meteorological Observatory in Songwol-dong, Jongno-gu, not in other areas.
The purpose of this criterion is statistical consistency.
In Incheon, the Jayu Park observatory in Jung-gu is the standard.
The Korean Meteorological Administration predicted that snow would fall in southern Gyeonggi and Yeongseo, Gangwon until dawn on the 30th, but the snow clouds would be floating in the middle of the atmosphere at an altitude of more than 2 km, and the snow it would not have accumulated so cold and dry air flowed into the lower atmosphere.
Also, on the 30th, it was announced that while the cloud belts formed by the sea difference (temperature difference between the atmosphere and sea water) flowed through the northwest wind in the western sea, it rained or snowed on the coast western Chungcheongnam-do, western Jeolla and Jeju, and snow within northern Jeollabuk-do.
