Icy Roads and Chilly Temperatures Expected Nationwide Monday

SEOUL, South Korea (Yonhap) — South Koreans are urged to exercise caution on Monday, January 15th, as freezing temperatures are expected to create icy road conditions across the country. Lingering moisture from recent rain and snow is predicted to turn into treacherous black ice, posing a significant risk to both pedestrians and drivers.

A cold air mass moving in from the northwest will cause morning temperatures to dip below average in most regions. The mercury will range from -9 to 3 degrees Celsius in the morning and climb to 3 to 12 degrees Celsius during the day. Inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon Province will experience the coldest temperatures, potentially dropping below -10 degrees Celsius.

While much of the country will experience generally clear skies, the Chungcheong and Jeolla regions will remain cloudy until the morning. Cloud cover will also increase across the central region throughout the morning.

Strong winds are forecast along the west coast, and rough seas are expected across most sea areas. Coastal residents, particularly along the east coast, should be aware of potential surges caused by strong waves (Neoul) that could impact beaches, breakwaters and coastal regions.

Regional Forecast:

  • Seoul: Mostly cloudy to cloudy (-3 to 6 degrees Celsius)
  • Incheon: Mostly cloudy to cloudy (-2 to 6 degrees Celsius)
  • Suwon: Mostly cloudy to cloudy (-4 to 7 degrees Celsius)
  • Chuncheon: Mostly cloudy to cloudy (-8 to 4 degrees Celsius)
  • Gangneung: Clear to Mostly cloudy (0 to 9 degrees Celsius)
  • Cheongju: Cloudy to Mostly cloudy (-3 to 7 degrees Celsius)
