[Today’s Weather] Morning Low of Minus 15 Degrees 'Severe Cold'... Heavy Snow in Jeolla, Jeju, and West Coast

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] On Monday the 14th, temperatures will drop sharply, bringing severe cold. Some areas are expected to experience rain or snow.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted, "From this day, due to the temperature difference between the lower atmosphere and sea surface (sea-air temperature difference), cloud bands formed over the West Sea will bring heavy snow to the Jeolla West Coast and the mountainous areas of Jeju Island, and heavy snow is also expected in some parts of the Chungnam West Coast and inland Jeolla."

Expected snowfall amounts are 5 to 20 cm for the Jeolla West Coast, Jeju Island mountainous areas, and Ulleungdo and Dokdo, and 2 to 7 cm for Jeolla Province (excluding Jeolla West Coast and eastern parts), Chungnam West Coast, and Jeju Island (excluding mountainous areas).

Additionally, as cold air flows in from the northwest, morning temperatures will drop 5 to 10 degrees lower than today, falling below -5 degrees Celsius in most parts of the country.

Eastern Gyeonggi, North Chungcheong, northern North Gyeongsang, and Gangwon Yeongseo will see temperatures fall below -10 degrees Celsius, and strong winds will make the wind chill even colder, resulting in very cold conditions.

Morning low temperatures are forecasted as follows: △Seoul -10°C △Chuncheon -12°C △Gangneung -5°C △Daejeon -6°C △Cheongju -6°C △Daegu -5°C △Gwangju -2°C △Jeonju -4°C △Busan -3°C △Jeju 4°C △Ulleungdo and Dokdo -2°C.

Fine dust levels will be 'Good' across all regions.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "Roads may become slippery due to freezing of rain or snow that falls today, causing severe traffic congestion. The cold wave may also disrupt outdoor activities, so examinees heading to interviews and commuters should be cautious of safety accidents during travel."
