It is the first day of the Lunar New Year here in Korea.
If you’re planning to head out or stay outdoors today, make sure you’re ready for bone-chilling weather conditons, because the whole country is under extremely cold temperatures this morning, with most of Korea either under cold wave watches and warnings!
Today is close to to degrees colder than yesterday,.. with Seoul expected to plunge down to negative degrees Celsius, but it’s going to feel colder with the strong winds blowing all across the country.
And all of the continental regions will mostly stay down in the negatives mark all throughout the day, while southwestern cities like Gwangju and Mokpo will receive snow, so drive safely and bundle up!
As for traffic conditions roads will be congested with those returning to Seoul beginning around 10 a.m. this morning.
Drivers may have to spend more than an additional hour. to the time spent going to their hometowns as some 380-thousand cars are expected to hit the road.

What Italian TV described as Siberian temperatures is arriving today over North Italy going southwards later on. There are many countries simultaneously sufferring lower than normal, freezing temperatures from Alaska eastwards to North Korea, while the southern hemisphere is not having a summer at all. So its not a higher than average in thr SH and lower than average in the NH and thus having an avergae global condition, but it is colder-than-normal all over. This could be what solar scientists have been predicting following the longer than normal, weak solar cycle 24. Now, it is being predicted that sc 25 will be even worse, throwing the planet in a multi-decadal freeze.
I just hope that Andrea Rossi’s cold fusion heater really works. It sure will come in handy.
