[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] On the 6th, heavy snow is expected mainly in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon Province.


The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted on the 5th that due to the influence of a high-pressure system located in northeastern China, easterly winds will flow into Yeongdong of Gangwon, the northeastern mountains of North Gyeongsang Province, and the eastern coast of North Gyeongsang on the 6th, bringing rain or snow, with raindrops expected in some areas along the eastern coast of South Gyeongsang Province.


Snow will fall heavily mainly in Yeongdong, Gangwon from early morning to daytime on the 6th, gradually weakening from the afternoon and mostly stopping overnight. However, snow may continue to fall along the eastern coast of Gangwon until early morning on the 7th.


Since a large amount of snow has already accumulated in Yeongdong, Gangwon, additional snowfall on the 6th may cause damage to facilities such as livestock barns or vinyl greenhouses collapsing, so thorough preparation in advance is necessary.


Inland areas of Jeolla Province are forecasted to experience light rain briefly on the evening of the 6th.



Expected snowfall amounts are 5 to 10 cm (with some areas exceeding 15 cm) in Yeongdong, Gangwon, and 1 to 5 cm in the northeastern mountains and northern eastern coast of North Gyeongsang Province. Expected precipitation amounts are 5 to 20 mm in Yeongdong, Gangwon, around 5 mm in the northeastern mountains and eastern coast of North Gyeongsang, and about 1 mm in inland Jeolla Province.
