[Weather] It's the coldest day of the year. Ramen...Heavy snow in South Chungcheong and Honam

[Anchor]
In the midst of the strongest cold wave this winter, the cold wind is blowing fiercely even during the day.

Heavy snow will continue mainly in Chungnam and Honam.

I'll look into the weather in detail. Castor Lee Hyemin!

Yes, it's in Gwanghwamun Square.

It's midday, how cold is it now?

[Caster]
Yes, the current temperature in Seoul is -8 degrees, and the wind chill is as low as -17 degrees.

The strongest cold wave came this winter, and it's so cold that it's incomparable to yesterday.

YTN casters have been delivering weather here since early in the morning.

I froze hot ramen here in the morning, and it is still frozen as it is in the middle of the day.

It's hard like a model, and it shows how cold the weather is today.

The cold wind blows fiercely, so you should bring your own thermal supplies.

The cold wave reached its peak this winter as the strong cold wave went south overnight.

Currently, the "Hanpa Special Report" has been expanded to most parts of the country, while the southern inland areas have also been strengthened with the "Hanpa Warning."

Temperatures will remain below zero even in the middle of the day,

It will be only -8 degrees in Seoul, -4 degrees in Daejeon, and -2 degrees in Gwangju and Daegu, and the wind chill will be 5 to 7 degrees lower than the temperature.

In the cold wave, it is snowing mainly in Chungnam, Honam, and Jeju Island.

While a "heavy snow warning" was issued due to strong snow, a "heavy snow warning" was issued on some Honam's west coast.

By tomorrow, there will be more than 30cm of heavy snow in the mountains of Jeju, more than 20cm in Jeonbuk, and up to 15cm in the west coast of Chungnam and Jeonnam.

As strong snow is concentrated on the west coast of Honam between dawn and morning tomorrow, we should be careful not to damage facilities.

A fierce cold wave will continue tomorrow morning, and the cold will gradually ease from the day after tomorrow, the weekend.

In addition, for the time being, snow is expected to fall frequently on the west coast of Honam and Jeju Island.

The East Coast area is still under a dry weather warning.

The risk of fire is even greater due to strong winds across the country. We need to be careful not to have wildfires.

I'm YTN's Lee Hyemin.
