″In Korea, the temperature has dropped significantly due to the influence of the cold continental high pressure, and most parts of the country are experiencing sub-zero weather, and the wind is blowing strongly, making the perceived temperature even lower.″

Tomorrow will be colder than today.

Morning temperatures will drop to -3 degrees in Seoul and Suwon, and -5 degrees in Chuncheon.

It is expected that up to 3 cm of snow will fall in some mountainous areas of Jeju Island between tomorrow and the morning of the day after tomorrow.
