After a long spell of unseasonably warm weather, the nation is now feeling the winter blues with people reaching for their heavy woollies. A cold front from Siberian region blanketed the Korean Peninsula yesterday, dropping the mercury to its lowest level so far this season. Seoul had a minimum temperature of minus 5.5 degrees Celsius while the northern city of Dongducheon was the chilliest in the nation with minus 7.2. "The Siberian high pressure is likely to influence the nation for a while, so citizens are advised to dress warm, and farmers and maintainance workers at facilities should guard against possible damage by the cold spell," the Korea Meteorological Administration said. It will be cold on the peninsula again today, with strong winds adding to the chill factor. Seoul temperatures will touch minus 5 degrees. Tomorrow will be worse as the current spell of cold weather reaches its nadir with morning lows in Gangwon province forecast at minus 11 degrees. Seoul, too, will have a cold day with a morning low of minus 6 degrees. The nation is likely to see a few sprinkles or a light shower on Thursday, and the wet conditions will continue through Friday morning. Some areas will have snow flurries instead of rain, the KMA said. But Christmas Eve and Christmas itself will be pleasant with clear sunny skies and temperatures in the plus Celsius column throughout the day. |
