Namsan: A Destination for Year-End Reflections
Namsan, known for its beautiful city views, has attracted a considerable crowd. Visitors express mixed feelings of nostalgia and excitement as they await the arrival of the new year. The current weather conditions, however, pose challenges; temperatures feel around minus 10 degrees Celsius, encouraging attendees to dress warmly.
Sunset Times Across Major Cities
The final sunset today will occur at various times across South Korea:
- Seoul: 5:23 PM
- Daegu: 5:22 PM
- Daejeon: 5:25 PM
However, regions along the southwestern coastal areas, including Jeju Island, might struggle to view the sunset due to incoming snow clouds.
Cold Weather Alerts
As the festivities commence, a cold wave advisory has been issued, affecting several regions including Seoul and the southern inland areas. Temperatures are projected to plunge to between minus 15 and 20 degrees Celsius by morning.
Forecasts indicate that Seoul will experience an early morning low of minus 11 degrees Celsius, with a daytime high of minus 4 degrees.
Winter Weather Preparedness
Furthermore, heavy snowfall warnings are in place for the southwestern coastal areas and mountainous regions of Jeju starting tomorrow night. This cold snap is expected to lessen in severity by the weekend.
As many people venture to nearby mountains for a view of the sunset and the subsequent sunrise, it’s crucial to be cautious. The air remains extremely dry, increasing the risk of wildfires. Thus, attendees are advised to take necessary safety precautions while enjoying the year’s closing moments at Namsan.
