[Today's Weather] Nationwide Cold Wave Continues... Rain or Snow in the Capital Region and Gangwon Yeongseo from Tonight

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] On Monday the 4th, the cold below freezing will continue, with rain or snow expected in the central regions starting from night.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted, "In Gangwon Yeongseo, inland Gyeonggi, inland Chungcheong, and inland Gyeongbuk, where cold wave warnings are in effect, morning temperatures will drop to around -10 degrees Celsius, making it very cold," adding, "In inland Gyeonggi and Gangwon Yeongseo, temperatures will fall as low as -15 degrees Celsius."

Due to the influence of a pressure trough approaching from the northwest, starting from 6 PM on the west coast of the central region and continuing into the night, rain or snow will occur in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Yeongseo, and northern Chungcheong.

Expected snowfall amounts are △ inland Chungcheong, inland Jeonbuk, Jeju mountainous area (until 12 PM on the 5th), West Sea 5 islands, Ulleungdo and Dokdo 1?3 cm △ Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gangwon Yeongseo, western Chungnam coast, inland Gyeongbuk, northern inland Jeonnam about 1 cm.

Precipitation less than 5 mm is expected in the central region (excluding Gangwon Yeongdong), Jeonbuk, northern Jeonnam, inland Gyeongbuk, Jeju Island (until 12 PM on the 5th), West Sea 5 islands, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo.

In Seoul and some parts of Gyeonggi, the east coast, Gangwon mountainous areas, and some inland Gyeongbuk where dry weather warnings are in effect, the atmosphere will be very dry. Gyeonggi, Gangwon Yeongseo, and Gyeongsang provinces will also be dry, so caution is advised to prevent forest fires and other types of fires.

Morning low temperatures are expected to be △ Seoul -8°C △ Chuncheon -13°C △ Gangneung -3°C △ Daejeon -8°C △ Cheongju -8°C △ Daegu -5°C △ Gwangju -5°C △ Jeonju -5°C △ Busan -1°C △ Jeju 4°C.

Fine dust levels will be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "In areas where snow has recently accumulated, melted snow during the day will freeze overnight as temperatures drop below freezing, and on shaded roads, sidewalks, and less trafficked side streets, ice will persist, making many places slippery," urging, "Please be especially careful for pedestrian safety and to prevent traffic accidents."
