"Pulpulpul" in the ocean. The beginning of December was bad...Are you talking about it more often?

The "hot sea" was the biggest cause of the unusual heavy snowfall in the Seoul metropolitan area on the winter threshold.

In December, another inclement weather was predicted inland earlier this week as well.

There are concerns that the influence of the hot sea throughout the winter could lead to large temperature changes and frequent 'wet snow', which is strong and heavy snow.

Reporter Jung Hye-yoon's report.

Heat waves approaching 40 degrees, 100mm water bombs per hour, 100 years of heavy rain, 40 days of tropical nights, etc.

The weather that hit the Korean Peninsula this summer and autumn has always been described as unprecedented, the first, and unusual.

The biggest cause of this weather was high water temperatures around the Korean Peninsula.

Recently, the surrounding sea in Korea is 2.5 times higher than the world standard.

The hot sea creates a lot of water vapor, which strengthens the heat wave or lengthens the heat at night.
During
, it changes its face and creates powerful heavy rain or typhoon clouds.


When it meets strong cold air, it is also the driving force behind the snow bomb like this time.

More places are expected to rain in the afternoon, but temperatures are rising and falling amid unusual heavy snow from the start, which could lead to thin ice all over the road for the time being.

Experts analyzed that this winter can be remembered as a winter with high sea temperatures and large temperature fluctuations and weather changes.

In particular, when the sea is hot and cold air moves south, humid snow can be created on top of it, he said, urging preparation for "wet snow."

[Ban Ki-sung / YTN Disaster Advisory Committee / K-Climit Representative: The temperature of the sea around the Korean Peninsula is very high recently. The temperature will drop suddenly when the cold air moves south amid the warm winter, but there is a high possibility that the snow will contain a lot of moisture like this one. As the cold warms up early, an environment in which west coast snow flows inland may be created frequently.

With the clock of the winter season announcing its full-fledged start with a 'snow bomb of all time',
It seems urgent to prepare countermeasures as another extreme weather event that has not been experienced
could come.
