Tomorrow is 'Ipdon', the Start of Winter... Cold Wave Advisories Issued for Eastern Regions

The cold has grown much fiercer heading into the weekend.

Biting winds are driving the perceived temperatures even lower.

Tomorrow (Nov. 7), which marks Ipdon (the start of winter) and the beginning of the weekend, is expected to bring the coldest morning so far this autumn.

With cold wave advisories issued mainly for eastern regions, morning lows tomorrow are forecast to plunge to minus 6°C (21°F) in Cheorwon and minus 5°C (23°F) in Gapyeong, while Seoul is also expected to see its first sub-zero temperature of this autumn at minus 1°C (30°F).

Strong, chilly winds will continue to blow through tomorrow, making the wind chill values even lower than the actual temperatures.

Other areas will also be cold, with Chuncheon dropping to minus 5°C (23°F) and Daegu at 1°C (34°F). Daytime highs will remain chilly all day, reaching 9°C (48°F) in Seoul and 12°C (54°F) in Jeonju.

The day after tomorrow, Sunday, is expected to bring rain to the central regions.

While the precipitation amount will not be large at around 5mm, places with lower temperatures such as northeastern Gyeonggi Province and Gangwon Province may see their first snow.

The weather will remain somewhat colder than usual until early next week, so you will need to bundle up warmly.
