The first snow turned into a snow bomb.

So far, the snow in Seoul is increasing by more than 18cm, and the snowfall in November is the largest in 117 years since the weather observation.

In particular, heavy snow warnings were issued across Seoul in the afternoon.

I'm connecting with the reporter.

Reporter Park So-jung, it's heavy snow from the first snow of the winter threshold.

Is there no November when it snowed so much in Seoul?

[Reporter]
That's right.

The snowiest year in Seoul in November so far was 1972.

At that time, it fell 12.4cm, and the official snowfall in Seoul from the night to the present exceeded 18cm.It fell more than 5.6cm

5.6cm, the highest in 117 years since 1907 when weather observations began.

The northeastern part of Seoul, where a heavy snow warning was issued from dawn, fell 20.6cm in Seongbuk-gu and 20.4cm in Gangbuk-gu,

During the day, a lot of snow fell in Gwanak-gu, recording 22.9cm of snow.

Let's take a look at the situation of the heavy snow special.

In Seoul, a heavy snow warning was issued in the southwest and northwest regions in the morning following the northeastern region at dawn, and the heavy snow warning was in effect for the southeast region as of 2:40 p.m.

In fact, a heavy snow warning has been issued across Seoul.

It is the first time in 14 years that a heavy snow warning has been issued in Seoul since January 2010, and the first time since 1999 that a heavy snow warning has been issued in November.

In addition to Gwangju and Yangpyeong in Gyeonggi Province, heavy snow warnings have been issued in most of the metropolitan areas, including Suwon, Yongin, Ansan, Gunpo, Uiwang, Gwangmyeong, Bucheon, Gwacheon, Siheung, Anyang, Seongnam, Pyeongtaek, Hanam, Anseong, and Incheon.

A heavy snow warning was also in effect for parts of Honam, including Jinan, Muju, and Jangsu in Jeollabuk-do, and Jincheon, Chungbuk.

There are places where snow clouds gradually fall to the east as the troughs that affected it until dawn move, and snowballs weaken during the day, but
Snow clouds continue to flow from the west of
and are expected to continue throughout the day as the snow repeats its strength and weakness.

The problem is that the weather is cold and the wind is added to build more snow.

The temperature in Seoul this morning was -1.3 degrees, the lowest this fall, but it barely rose during the day and remained below freezing at -0.3 degrees as of 3 p.m.

Strong winds are expected to blow around 20 meters per second across the country, with the special wind warning extended not only to coastal areas but also to Chungcheong and some inland areas of Gyeonggi Province.

It's just a matter of fact.

The central part of the country will fall up to 20cm by tomorrow?

[Reporter]
That's right.

With snow clouds continuing to come in from the west, another heavy snowfall is expected tonight.

This is because the pressure trough on the upper floor of Korea rotates counterclockwise, and strong snow clouds are introduced once again from tonight.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) predicted that up to 20cm more snow will fall in the mountains and metropolitan areas of Gangwon Province and 15cm more in Chungcheong, Honam and Jeju by tomorrow.

In particular, as this snow is a "heavy snow" full of moisture, if snow is added in a situation where there is already a lot of snow, outdoor facilities such as greenhouses may collapse, so preparations are needed.

This snow is expected to start to stop gradually tomorrow afternoon.

However, Chungcheong, Honam, and Jeju Island will have snow until the day after tomorrow.
