Cold Wave Warning Expected from 9 PM
Be Cautious of Traffic Safety Due to Thin Ice Formation

Tomorrow morning, the lowest temperature is expected to drop to minus 13 degrees Celsius, bringing cold weather. Especially with strong winds, the wind chill temperature is expected to feel even colder.

On the 14th, the Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted, "The lowest temperature on the morning of the 15th will be between minus 13 and 0 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature during the day will be between 0 and 9 degrees Celsius." It also stated that cold air from the northwest will move southward, causing morning temperatures to drop by 2 to 8 degrees compared to the previous day. In particular, the northern and eastern parts of Gyeonggi Province and the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon Province are expected to see morning temperatures fall below minus 10 degrees, and a cold wave advisory will be issued from 9 PM today.

A strong wind advisory has been issued for the East Coast of Gangwon and Gyeongbuk, where strong winds are expected. The wind wave advisory for the East Sea offshore, which was scheduled to be lifted the previous day due to strong winds, has been postponed to the 16th or 17th.

The lowest temperature on the morning of that day will range from minus 13 to 0 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature during the day will range from 0 to 9 degrees Celsius. The expected lowest temperatures in major cities are ▲Seoul -7°C ▲Incheon -7°C ▲Chuncheon -8°C ▲Gangneung -2°C ▲Daejeon -7°C ▲Daegu -5°C ▲Jeonju -4°C ▲Gwangju -3°C ▲Busan 0°C ▲Jeju 4°C.

After rain or snow stops, cold air will move southward, causing temperatures to drop below freezing in most parts of the country until tomorrow morning, which may cause the fallen rain or snow to freeze. Many places may have icy roads or black ice, so caution is advised for traffic safety.

Until tomorrow, strong winds will blow across most parts of the country at around 15 meters per second (around 20 meters per second in mountainous areas).

On Tuesday morning, the 16th, morning temperatures in Daegu and the Gyeongbuk region are expected to be colder, ranging from minus 12 to minus 3 degrees Celsius. However, the weather is expected to return to normal levels from the afternoon. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion.

The Korea Meteorological Administration urged, "The air is very dry along the East Coast, including the northern East Coast of Gangwon Province where a dry weather advisory is in effect, so please be especially careful about fire hazards."

From the 18th, snow and rain are forecast mainly for the southern regions and Jeju. From the 18th to 19th, it will be cloudy nationwide, with rain expected in the southern regions and Jeju (snow in some high-altitude areas), and rain or snow expected in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon Province. The snow in Gangwon Yeongdong may continue longer until the 20th. When the low-pressure system bringing this snow and rain passes, another cold wave is expected to arrive.
