Spring rain, which ends the long winter drought, is expected to pour up to 100mm across the country on the 1st of next month. Gangwon-do is expected to receive a maximum of 50 cm of heavy snow.

The Meteorological Administration said on the 28th that “the current is raining in Chungcheong-do and southern regions due to the influence of the cyclone approaching from the west, and then it will rain or snow all over the country on March 1-2.” As of 3 pm, the rain falling in the southern regions will expand to the whole country, including the central region at the dawn of the 1st.

In particular, as the rain cloud develops strongly due to the large amount of water vapor introduced from the south during the day on the 1st, a lot of rain will fall along with thunder and lightning in the metropolitan area, Gangwon-do, and northern Chungbuk. Estimated precipitation by the 2nd will be 30~80mm in the metropolitan area, Gangwon-do, northern Chungbuk, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam, and heavy rains of more than 100mm will pour in many places. In addition, 10 to 60 mm of rain will fall in the Chungcheong and southern regions, and 10 to 40 mm of rain in Jeju Island.

The Meteorological Administration predicted that it would rain in the early morning of the 2nd in the metropolitan area and Gangwon Yeongseo, Chungcheong, and Jeolla-do, until the morning in Gyeongsang-do and Jeju-do, and until the afternoon in Yeongdong, Gangwon-do.

Meteorological Office forecast analyst Woo Jin-gyu said, “As water vapor flows in from the sea through the southern wind, rain clouds develop strongly and a large amount of rain is expected to fall in the spring rain. There is a possibility of rain of more than ㎜.”

From the afternoon of the 1st to the afternoon of the 2nd, the clouds accompanied by strong rain are expected to move eastward, spreading a maximum of 50cm or more of snow around Gangwon-do. The expected snowfall is 10~40cm in Yeongdong, Gangwon, and more than 50cm in many places. In the mountains of Yeongseo, Gangwon and northeast of Gyeongbuk, 5~15cm of snow will fall. Between the night of the 1st and the dawn of the 2nd, it is expected that up to 8cm of snow will fall in the north and east of Gyeonggi-do, where rain clouds remain, and the north of Gyeongbuk.

The Meteorological Administration said, “For one to two days, a lot of rain in the west and a lot of snow in the east are expected at the same time throughout the region. Special attention is needed.”

With a lot of rain in the west and a lot of snow in the east, the long winter drought is expected to be resolved. In fact, this winter suffered from a terrible drought because the amount of rainfall was toxic. According to the Meteorological Administration, from October 1st last year to February 15th this year, when the atmosphere becomes dry, national rainfall amounted to only 56% of the average year. Due to the lack of snow and rain, the forests became drier than normal, and large-scale forest fires occurred throughout the country, including Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

The Korea Meteorological Administration added, “The atmosphere is very dry nationwide, and the dryness of the atmosphere is expected to be resolved due to the rain or snow this time.”

After the low pressure escaped to the east, cold air from the north was strongly introduced, and from the night of the 1st, the temperature would gradually drop to sub-zero. In Seoul, the temperature drops to 0 degrees on the 2nd, and the perceived temperature is -3 degrees. Accordingly, it is expected that traffic congestion on the way to work is expected due to the icy road as the rain turns into snow from the early morning of the 2nd in the metropolitan area.

Analyst Woo said, “Because the road to work on the 2nd is expected to be very crowded due to ice roads due to sub-zero temperatures, it is necessary to prepare in advance.”
