With temperatures dropping significantly across the country, the central part is expected to continue to experience freezing cold in the middle of the day.

South Chungcheong Province and Honam Province, where a preliminary warning of heavy snow has been issued, are expected to receive up to 20cm of snow by tomorrow.

I'm connecting with the reporter.

Reporter Kim Min-kyung, it was very cold this morning, and the wind chill is below zero even in the middle of the day?

[Reporter]
Yes, the temperature dropped significantly from minus 10 to 15 degrees this morning, mainly in Gangwon Province, northeastern Gyeonggi Province, North Chungcheong Province, and the mountains of North Gyeongsang Province, where a cold wave warning was issued as a result of a strong cold wave from yesterday afternoon.

In Seoul, there was no special cold wave warning, but the lowest temperature this morning was minus 5.9 degrees Celsius, down about 6 degrees from yesterday, and the cold wind lowered the temperature to minus 10 degrees Celsius.

Even in the middle of the day, the wind chill in most of the central region, including Seoul, is expected to remain below zero.

Tomorrow morning's temperature in Seoul will be minus 7 degrees Celsius, and the central inland and northern Gyeongbuk will be below minus 10 to 15 degrees Celsius, so the cold will not be dampened.

The cold will continue until tomorrow and ease for a while, recovering normal temperatures from Sunday, but cold air is expected to come down again in the middle and late next week.

A preliminary warning of heavy snowfall has been issued in Chungnam and Honam, how much snow does it fall?

[Reporter]
Yes, as of 9 a.m. today, a preliminary warning of heavy snow was issued in the mountains of Chungnam, Honam, and Jeju.

The fermentation time is this afternoon in Chungnam and Jeonbuk, night in Jeonnam, and dawn tomorrow in the mountains of Jeju.This is because the cloud bands developed by the cold air

passing through the relatively warm West Sea enter Chungcheong and Honam's west coast through the northwest wind.

By tomorrow, a lot of snow is expected to be up to 20cm in Jeonbuk, and 3 to 10cm in the mountains of Chungnam, Jeonnam, and Jeju.

In particular, heavy snow of up to 3cm per hour is expected to be concentrated in places where strong snow clouds pass.

As this snow is expected to be humid and heavy as last time, thorough preparations are needed to prevent damage to outdoor facilities such as greenhouses and livestock houses.

Snow will mostly stop tomorrow morning, but Jeju Island is expected to continue until the dawn of the day after tomorrow.
