[Weather] Warm on Saturday, Temperature Drops Sharply on Sunday... Snow in Some Areas

[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] On Saturday the 15th, the whole country will experience warm weather like early spring, but on Sunday the 16th, temperatures will drop sharply and snow will fall mainly in the western regions from the afternoon.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 14th, on the 15th, the whole country will have occasional clouds that will gradually become overcast, with rain expected in Gangwon Yeongdong from dawn, and in the central regions and Jeolla Province at night.

Expected precipitation amounts are 5 to 20 mm in Gangwon Yeongdong, and around 5 mm in the rest of the central regions, Jeolla Province, and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk.

Morning low temperatures will range from 1 to 9 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs will be between 8 and 19 degrees Celsius, about 4 to 9 degrees higher than the average.

However, on the 16th, the weather will change rapidly within a day as the country comes under the edge of a cold continental high pressure system expanding from northern China.

Until morning, the low temperatures will be between 0 and 9 degrees Celsius, higher than the average (-8 to 2 degrees Celsius), but daytime temperatures will hardly rise, with highs between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius, lower or similar to the average (4 to 10 degrees Celsius).

The low and high temperatures in Seoul on the 16th are both expected to be 0 degrees Celsius.

With the sudden cold and strong winds, the perceived cold will be even greater.

The whole country will be cloudy with rain or snow that will mostly stop by the morning.

However, due to snow cloud bands formed by the temperature difference between the lower atmosphere and sea surface over the West Sea, snow will fall from around 3 p.m. in the central regions excluding Gangwon Yeongdong, Jeolla Province, the western inland areas of Gyeongsang, and Jeju Island.

From the night of the 16th to the morning of the 17th, heavy snow of up to about 20 cm is expected to accumulate in Chungcheong Province, Jeolla Province, and the mountainous areas of Jeju Island, with the possibility of a heavy snow advisory being issued.
