Gwangju and Jeonnam to Experience Snow with Strong Winds from Night of 28th... Up to 15cm

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] A heavy snow advisory is expected to be issued from the night of the 28th in Gwangju Metropolitan City and some areas of Jeonnam.

The Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration announced a preliminary heavy snow warning on the 27th and stated that there is a high possibility of a heavy snow advisory being issued from the night of the next day in Gwangju and Jeonnam's Naju, Damyang, Hwasun, Yeongam, Muan, and other areas.

The expected snowfall amount is 3 to 10 cm (with some places exceeding 15 cm) in Gwangju and Jeonnam, and 1 to 5 cm along the southern coast of Jeonnam. Snowfall amounts are expected to vary depending on the altitude within the region.

This snow will continue until the morning of the 29th due to the influence of cloud bands developing over the West Sea caused by the temperature difference between air masses.

Typhoon-level strong winds are also expected to blow on the 28th and 29th. During this period, the maximum instantaneous wind speed is expected to be 12 to 18 m/s, and a strong wind advisory is likely to be issued for most areas.

Temperatures will also drop sharply, with morning lows during this period ranging from -5 to 3℃ and -8 to -2℃, and daytime highs ranging from 7 to 9℃ and 0 to 3℃.

A Gwangju Meteorological Administration official urged, “Since there will be places with heavy snow accumulation, please pay special attention to traffic safety.”
