Arctic Blast Continues: Tomorrow Morning Temperatures Plunge to -19°C

Arctic Blast Continues as temperatures are expected to plunge significantly across various regions. On January 22, forecasts predict some areas will see morning temperatures drop to around -19°C, marking one of the coldest days of this winter.

Current Weather Conditions

Cold wave warnings have been issued nationwide, signaling widespread frigid conditions. Coastal areas, like Dongmak Beach in Ganghwa, Incheon, have reported parts of the sea freezing over.

Temperature Forecasts

  • Morning low temperatures: -19°C to -5°C
  • Afternoon high temperatures: -7°C to +2°C
  • Majority of inland areas will experience sub-zero temperatures throughout the day.

In addition to extreme cold, the weather service forecasts ongoing snowfall in the western coastal areas of Jeolla and Jeju Island. This will increase the risk of icy roads, making travel hazardous for residents.

Impact of Arctic Blast

The combination of low temperatures and strong winds is expected to lead to significantly colder wind chill readings. The weather service warns that the perceived temperature will be much lower than the actual thermometer readings.

As communities brace for this Arctic blast, residents are advised to take necessary precautions. Heating systems should be checked, and individuals are encouraged to limit time spent outdoors during peak cold hours.
