Snow and Rain Continue Until Noon on the 8th
Heavy Snow Warning Possible in Gangwon Mountain Areas

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] It is expected that there will be a considerable amount of rain nationwide until the day after tomorrow. In places like Gangwon Yeongdong, more than 120mm of rain may fall, so caution is required.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that rain will continue until the afternoon of the 8th due to rain clouds moving from the southwest. As of 9:30 a.m., sporadic snowflakes or raindrops are falling in Seoul, Incheon, and southern Gyeonggi.

The rain will gradually intensify, with moderately heavy rain of about 10mm per hour expected in the central region between the night of the 7th and the morning of the 8th. The expected precipitation is 30 to 80mm. In Gangwon Yeongdong, rain clouds will develop further, causing very heavy rain exceeding 120mm in some areas.

Snowfall will be light and rain is more likely, especially in the central region, but if the cold air moving south on the night of the 7th is strong, the areas where snow accumulates may expand.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "Rain will change to snow mainly in the Gangwon mountain area, leading to a large accumulation of snow, and there is a possibility of a heavy snow warning being issued. Please refer to upcoming weather information announcements."
