Christmas, the white snow falling from the sky brings happiness and laughter to many.

But it’s not easy to meet the luck of White Christmas.

The criterion for White Christmas is when there is enough snowfall on Christmas Day to record snowfall.

From 1973, when national weather observations began, white Christmas appeared in Seoul for a total of 9 days.

It’s only 19% in probability.

It seems difficult to expect Christmas luck again this year.

It is because rain and snow fall all over the country until the morning of Christmas Eve, but sunny days are expected on Christmas Day.

Most of the snow before Christmas will come only in the mountains, and rain will fall in the interior.

The most recent White Christmas realized was 0.2cm of snow in Seoul in 2015.

It is the fifth year after Christmas without snow.

However, this year’s Christmas season, instead of snow, the temperature in Seoul is expected to drop to -5 degrees below zero.
