Gwangju and Jeonnam Weekend Temperatures Plummet... First 'Cold Wave Advisory' of This Fall

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] This weekend, the first cold wave advisory of the year has been forecasted for the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions.

According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on the 14th, temperatures will drop sharply from the afternoon of the 16th, and a cold wave warning may be issued in inland areas on the 17th.

In particular, the Meteorological Administration predicted that cold air will rapidly flow in, causing temperatures to fall drastically and winds to blow strongly, making the perceived temperature 2 to 6 degrees lower.

In some inland areas, the first frost is also expected to be observed. The Meteorological Administration urged special caution in advance, such as taking additional warming measures, as there is a high possibility of crop damage due to low temperatures.

This cold wave will continue until the 18th, and on the 20th, the continental high pressure from the northwest is expected to expand again, potentially causing another drop in temperature.

Meanwhile, a cold wave advisory is issued when the morning minimum temperature drops by 10 degrees or more compared to the previous day, or when it is 3 degrees lower than the average value and the morning minimum temperature is expected to remain below minus 12 degrees Celsius for two or more consecutive days.
