You look very cold even if you are heavily armed, how cold is it on your way to work?

[Caster]
Yes, the sharp wind is so fierce that it feels frozen even if you stand outside for a little while.

For the first time this winter, a "cold wave warning" was issued in Seoul.

Currently, the temperature in Seoul is minus 9.2 degrees Celsius, which is breaking the lowest temperature this winter.

In particular, the cold wind caused the temperature to drop to as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius.

It's still early, so I don't see many citizens.

If you're not leaving the house, please dress warmer than ever and make sure to bring warm items.

The whole country was frozen in the middle of the night.

Currently, a "Cold Wave Warning" is in effect in northeastern Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, northern North Chungcheong Province, and northeastern North Gyeongsang Province, while a "Cold Wave Warning" is in effect in other central and eastern North Jeolla Province, and northern North Gyeongsang Province.

The coldest place in the country is Mt. Seorak in Gangwon-do, which is an unofficial record, but the temperature has plummeted to minus 23.8 degrees Celsius.

In addition, it fell to minus 15.2 degrees Celsius in Daegwallyeong, minus 12.2 degrees Celsius in Cheorwon, and minus 7.5 degrees Celsius in Daejeon and Andong.

Today, even during the day, the wind chill will be around minus 15 degrees Celsius in the central part of the country and around minus 10 degrees Celsius in the southern part of the country.

Please pay attention to cold diseases such as hypothermia and frostbite and prepare for freezing accidents.

It is snowing mainly on the west coast, south coast, and Jeju Island in the cold wave.

In the future, snow clouds will expand to other western inland areas, and snow feet will gradually become thicker.

Therefore, a 'heavy snow warning' is in place on the west coast of Chungnam, Honam, and Jeju mountains.

Although a lot of snow has already fallen, additional heavy snow is expected to be up to 30cm in the mountains of Jeju, up to 20cm in Jeonbuk, and up to 15cm in the west coast of Chungnam and Jeonnam by tomorrow.

In particular, very strong snow of around 3 to 5 cm per hour will be concentrated.

Please be careful of safety accidents such as the collapse of a greenhouse.

Snow on the west coast will continue until tomorrow and Jeju Island will continue until Sunday.

The cold wave will continue to be similar to today tomorrow, and this cold spell is expected to gradually weaken from the daytime of the weekend.

Amid strong winds across the country, a "strong wind warning" is in effect with gusts of more than 20m per second around the coast and Jeju Island.

Please be careful not to damage the facilities.
