Gwangju and Jeonnam to Receive Up to 30cm of Snow Over 3 Days Starting the 6th... Cold Wave Peaks on the 8th

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] The Gwangju and Jeonnam regions are expected to receive heavy snowfall of more than 30 cm in some areas from the 6th to the 8th. Especially, from the night of the 6th until the early morning of the next day, heavy snow is expected to fall intensively in most areas.

The Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration announced on the 5th that due to the influence of a pressure trough moving southward near the Bohai Bay in China, from 3 PM on the 6th until the 8th, more than 30 cm of heavy snow is expected in Gwangju and western Jeonnam, and up to 20 cm in other areas.

The expected snowfall from the 6th to the 8th is 5 to 20 cm (more than 30 cm in heavy snowfall areas).

Morning temperatures on the 6th and 7th will be below freezing, especially inland, making it cold. During this period, the morning low temperatures will range from -8 to -3℃ and -11 to -5℃, and the daytime highs will be between 0 to 3℃ and -6 to -3℃.

Strong winds will also blow, making the wind chill temperature even lower.

This cold wave will peak on the 8th. Afterward, daytime temperatures will remain 2 to 6℃ lower than average for an extended period.

A Gwangju Meteorological Administration official urged, “Since snow will continue for a relatively long time, accumulating heavily, and combined with severe cold and strong winds, it will be very cold. Please take special care in managing facilities, preventing cold-related illnesses, health care, and traffic safety.”
