After the Snowfall, the Strongest Cold Wave of This Winter Hits Starting the Day After Tomorrow

Central Region Focused - Temperatures Drop Below -10°C
Daytime Temperatures Remain Below Freezing, Cold
Feels-Like Temperature Even Lower, 'Cold Wave Warning' Possible in Seoul and Others

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] After the snow stops, the coldest weather of this winter will hit the entire country.

On the 3rd, the Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that snow will fall from the afternoon of the 4th until the early morning of the 5th.

The snow, starting in Baengnyeongdo and northern Gyeonggi Province on the afternoon of the 4th, will continue overnight to the central region including Seoul, Jeollabuk-do, and sequentially expand to Jeollanam-do and Jeju Island by the early morning of the 5th.

The expected snowfall amount is 1 to 5 cm in the central region excluding the coastal areas of Gangwon Province, Jeollabuk-do, inland western Gyeongbuk, Jeju Island, and the five islands in the West Sea.

After the snow stops, from the 5th, a cold continental high pressure will expand, bringing cold northwesterly winds across Korea, causing temperatures to drop sharply nationwide. The cold spell will continue until the 6th. Many areas, mainly in the central region, will see temperatures fall below -10 degrees Celsius, and daytime temperatures will remain below freezing, making it very cold.

The central region including Seoul will experience even lower wind chill temperatures, increasing the likelihood of a cold wave advisory being issued.

The cold will persist until the 7th, after which daytime temperatures will rise by more than 5 degrees starting from the weekend, returning to levels similar to or higher than the average.
