From tomorrow, the 28th, the temperature drops sharply for 2-3 days and a strong typhoon-class wind blows. In addition, it is expected that there will be a lot of snow in some areas.

The Meteorological Administration predicted on the 27th that from the afternoon of the 28th to the morning of the 30th, in addition to the strong cold of 10 degrees below zero and the maximum instantaneous wind speed of 90 km/h, snowfall at the level of a heavy snow warning, centered on the central and southern mountains in the morning. did.

On the 28th, as the cyclone accompanied by precipitation clouds passes through the north of Korea, it snows or rains in most areas of the country (excluding parts of the eastern part of Gyeongsang-do). It is analyzed that rain or sleet starts to fall from the west in the morning and expands to most of the country during the day, and during the day when cold air begins to flow in, the rain that used to fall turns into snow, and the intensity will increase once.

Afterwards, the cold air quickly pushed the snow cloud belt to the southeast, and snow in most areas would stop in the evening. However, due to the effect of the snow cloud belt developed at sea, snow is expected to continue until the morning of the 29th in the Chungcheong area, Jeolla area, and Jeju Island.

There is a possibility that a heavy snowfall warning will be announced as the amount of snowfall by region accumulates up to 10 cm or more in the eastern part of Gyeonggi and Gangwon-do (excluding the east coast), and up to 15 cm or more in the interior of the eastern part of Jeolla, where the influence of sea snow clouds continues.

Rain or sleet that has been falling in other areas will turn into snow, and it is expected that 1 to 5 cm of snow will accumulate as it falls strongly in a short time. In particular, the atmosphere is very unstable, and there are also places where thunder and lightning occur during snow or rain (including both land and sea).

The Meteorological Administration requested that people pay attention to traffic safety on the way home from work as it is expected that there will be many places that become icy roads due to the freezing of the snow from the afternoon of the 28th.

The Meteorological Agency also said that even in the slightest difference in temperature between 1 and 2 degrees Celsius, the time of rain and snowfall may change, and even within the same area, there may be a large difference in the amount of snowfall depending on the altitude and topography. It has announced that it will release weather information that contains more accurate types of precipitation and when it starts.

An official from the Meteorological Administration said, “In the case of Seoul and Gyeonggi Province (excluding the eastern part), there is a high possibility that the road will become an icy road if the road is frozen in wet conditions due to rain rather than a lot of snow accumulation.”

On the 28th and 29th, the temperature drops sharply with the news of snow and a very strong wind blowing across the country.
The temperature starts to drop sharply from the afternoon of the 28th when cold air is strongly inflowed, and it is expected to be very cold until the morning of the 30th.

On the 29th to 30th, the minimum temperature in the morning falls below -10 degrees Celsius in the middle of the central and southern mountains, and there is a possibility that a cold weather warning will be issued, which is 5 to 10 degrees lower than the 28th.

The minimum temperature on the morning of the 29th is 12 degrees below zero in Seoul, 15 degrees below zero in Dongducheon, and 18 degrees below zero in Cheorwon.

In addition, strong winds (25 to 65 km/h and 7 to 18 m/s) are blowing all over the country starting from the west sea island area on the morning of the 28th, and it is highly likely that a strong wind report will be released in most regions. In particular, it is expected that gusts of more than 90 km/h (25 m/s) will occur instantly in coastal, Jeju Island, islands and mountains, and more than 70 km/h (20 m/sec) in other areas.

Along with this, it is expected that a storm warning will be issued as the waves rise very high, starting from the west sea at dawn on the 28th, and in the afternoon on the south sea and east sea due to strong winds.

The Meteorological Agency said, “As the temperature has been relatively mild, as the temperature has been maintained 5 to 10 degrees higher than normal, the temperature is sharply lowered to 5 degrees lower than normal, so the perceived cold will be stronger.” As the temperature is 10 degrees lower than the actual temperature, please pay attention to health management.”

From the 31st, it is expected that cold waves and heavy snow will pass shortly as the temperature rises and the weather becomes clear under the influence of western winds and mobile high pressure.
