Last weekend and holiday when the temperature dropped sharply due to the cold wind.

The citizens who filled the streets were heavily armed with thick padded coats, scarves, gloves, and fur hats.

As of the night of the 7th, the official minimum temperature in Seoul was -6℃
By region
, Yejang-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul recorded -10.6℃ in Gongneung-dong, Nowon-gu, -9.4℃, and Yeouido-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu recorded -5.8℃.

It is a temperature that can cause health problems for the elderly and people with respiratory diseases.

If the general public is exposed to cold weather for a long time, they can develop diseases caused by cold, such as cold diseases, hypothermia, and frostbite.

[Ban Ki-sung / YTN Disaster Advisory Committee / K-Climit Representative: Severe temperature differences can also affect body temperature, and above all, they sharply reduce immunity. Usually, whenever your body temperature drops by 1 degree, your immunity decreases by 30%.]

The cold has eased for a while during the week, but this weekend, it is predicted to be a flash cold.

In particular, many places in the central inland, such as Seoul, will record their lowest levels this winter, and it will be colder than last weekend, with wind chill temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius.

[Lee Jae-jeong/Kweather Forecast Team Leader: A strong chill in the northwest late in the week will bring morning temperatures to around -5 degrees Celsius in Seoul and other central parts of the country between Saturday and Monday, with even lower wind chill. The wind is cold even during the day, so the wind chill is likely to stay below zero.

Therefore, to stay outside, you need cold-weather items and clothes for the cold.

In addition, when doing outdoor activities for a long time, it is important to move your body from time to time and circulate blood without staying in the same position for a long time.

In addition, as snow is expected due to topographical influence in Chungcheong and Honam regions, attention should be paid to sliding accidents.
