The peak of the holiday cold wave… Seoul -12.4 ℃, Cheorwon -19.4 ℃
-0.3℃ in the morning of Jeju, the first freezing cold nationwide this winter
Daytime Tuesday ~ Cold wave slowed down on Wednesday… It rained again after that
[앵커]
The cold snap, which has been going on for almost a week, is caused by the Arctic chill moving south.
The arctic cold wave will be released after continuing until the morning of the day after tomorrow, but another cold wave is expected to start after the middle.
This is reporter Kim Jin-doo’s report.

It’s a picture of the cold trapped in the Arctic pushed all the way to mid-latitudes.
It is the part marked in blue, extending deeper towards eastern China and North Korea.
You can also see Korea covered in minus 40 degrees Celsius cold air.
The temperature in Seoul recorded minus 12.4 degrees in the arctic cold snap that lasted nearly a week.
Jeju’s temperature, which was the lowest this winter, and most importantly maintained video range, also fell below freezing for the first time.
The cold spell is expected to continue for about two more days and then be released as the temperature rises on the video from Tuesday.
However the weather, which has been mild for about two days, will change again from mid-week, and the cold will continue until the weekend.

Along with the cold snap, snow bombs literally poured over the west coast and island areas.
This is because cold air passes over the relatively warm sea, creating snow clouds as the steam rises like a bathhouse.
Up to 40 cm of heavy snow has fallen, but 30 cm of snow is expected to fall on the Jeju Mountains and 10 to 15 cm on the west coast in the future.
The Korean Meteorological Administration has requested advance preparations as there are concerns not only about traffic safety but also damage to structures due to wet snow.
