Gwangju and Jeonnam Forecasted Severe Cold Next Week... Heavy Snow on the West Coast

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Gwangju and Jeonnam regions are expected to experience the onset of severe winter cold starting from the 14th. Heavy snowfall is forecasted, especially along the Jeonnam West Coast.

The Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration announced on the 11th that cold air will continuously flow in due to the expansion of the continental high pressure system starting from the 14th, leading to the development of snow cloud bands over the West Sea, which are likely to persist until the following day.

The expected snowfall from the 14th to 15th is 5 to 15 cm along the Jeonnam West Coast and 2 to 7 cm in the inland areas of Gwangju and Jeonnam. The Meteorological Administration explained that there is a possibility of issuing a heavy snow warning during this period.

Additionally, daytime high temperatures are expected to hover around 0℃, but strong winds will make the perceived temperature feel about 9℃ colder.

A Gwangju Meteorological Administration official urged, “Next week, severe cold will accompany the snowfall, so thorough preparations are necessary for traffic safety on snowy and icy roads as well as for preventing damage to facilities.”
