Let’s connect reporters out in Gwanghwamun, Seoul.
Reporter Kim Min-hyung, how cold is it right now?
◀ Reporter ▶
Yes, it is in Gwanghwamun.
If you don’t wear gloves, your fingertips get very cold, and the cold wind penetrates your coat even if you wrap a scarf around it.
Office workers on their way to work in the morning also wore thick coats, gloves and scarves, and hurried their steps.
The lowest temperature this morning recorded minus 17 degrees to 0 degrees across the country, including minus 9 degrees in Seoul.
Currently, a cold wave warning has been issued in most areas of the country except for Incheon, the southern region, and Jeju Island.
In some areas, such as Siheung and Paju in Gyeonggi-do, the morning feeling temperature is below -15 degrees Celsius, and in Gangwon-do Daegwallyeong, Pyeongchang, Yeongwol, and Taebaek, the feeling temperature is expected to be around -20 degrees Celsius.

It seems to be cold every day these days, when will the weather get better?
◀ Reporter ▶
Yes, the temperature during the day rises little by little.
The Korea Meteorological Administration predicted that this week’s temperature will be below normal.
Tomorrow morning, the lowest temperature is expected to continue in the cold, with many low areas ranging from -10 degrees to -15 degrees.
The day after tomorrow, the lowest temperature rose in the morning, and as cold air from the north came back to the south, the temperature during the day was expected to be 3 to 5 degrees lower than tomorrow .
There is also snow news the day after tomorrow.
The Meteorological Administration predicted that it would snow in the metropolitan area, Gangwon-do, and some areas in Chungcheong in the morning, and snow in the west coast of Chungcheongnam-do from late afternoon and the coast of Jeolla-seo from after 9: 00 p.m.
With the cold wave continuing every day, the Korea Meteorological Administration asked that water meters and water pipes be checked and prepared for freezing.
As snow has recently fallen in most areas of the country, the snow that melted during the day can freeze again overnight and the roads can be slippery, so you should pay attention to traffic safety on your way to the work.
So far, I have been told in Gwanghwamun.
