Amid the expansion and reinforcement of the "Hanpa Special Report" in the central region, including Seoul, this morning, the wind chill will drop to around minus 20 degrees Celsius.

It is said that heavy snow continues in Chungnam and Honam regions in the cold wave.

Let's find out more about the weather and weather conditions outside. It's one! Castor!

[Caster]
Yes, it is located in Gwanghwamun, Seoul.

[Anchor]
Yes, I connected you an hour ago, but how is the cold situation now?

[Caster]
Yes, even if the day gets bright, the wind's momentum remains.

Currently, the temperature in Seoul has dropped to minus 9.5 degrees Celsius amid the first "cold wave warning" this winter.

In particular, the wind chill is around minus 16 degrees Celsius.

When you come out today, please dress warmer than ever and make sure to bring warm items.

I also prepared a water bottle to show you how cold the weather is.

It's not frozen yet, but today, as the freezing cold persists even during the day
I'm going to show you how this water bottle changes with each broadcast that follows
.

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

Currently, a '∀ warning' is issued in northeastern Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province, northern North Chungcheong Province, and northeastern North Gyeongsang Province.
Other central regions, eastern North Jeolla Province, and northern North Gyeongsang Province are under the "Hanpa Watch" in effect.

The coldest place in the country is Mt. Seorak in Gangwon-do, which is an unofficial record, but the temperature has plummeted to minus 24.6 degrees Celsius.

In addition, some areas are breaking new lows this winter, with temperatures falling to minus 15.6 degrees in Daegwallyeong, minus 12.2 degrees in Cheorwon, and minus 8.2 degrees in 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 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.
