This <strong>South Korea cold wave<\/strong> is arriving with the storm, which means the snow may come with biting wind and dangerous wind chill. Korea\u2019s national weather agency said snow could start on <strong>Saturday<\/strong> in <strong>northeastern Gyeonggi<\/strong> and <strong>Gangwon<\/strong>, then spread south on <strong>Sunday<\/strong> as colder air pushes in from the north. (<a href=\"https:\/\/koreajoongangdaily.joins.com\/news\/2026-01-09\/national\/socialAffairs\/Winter-storm-forecast-predicts-strong-winds-snow-across-Korea\/2496782\">Korea JoongAng Daily<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meteorologists warned that <strong>Gangwon<\/strong>, the <strong>Honam region<\/strong>, and <strong>Jeju Island<\/strong> could get hit hard, with snowfall rates as high as <strong>5 cm per hour<\/strong> in some places. That kind of speed can turn roads into skating rinks fast, so this is one of those \u201cplan ahead\u201d weekends.

Even if your area doesn\u2019t hit \u201cwarning\u201d levels, a few centimeters plus strong wind can still cause major delays.

As <strong>Arctic air moves south<\/strong>, temperatures are expected to fall sharply. Forecasters said <strong>Sunday morning lows<\/strong> could drop to <strong>around -10\u00b0C<\/strong> in many areas. In <strong>Seoul<\/strong>, the temperature is forecast to hit about <strong>-8\u00b0C<\/strong>, but wind chill could make it feel closer to <strong>-16\u00b0C<\/strong>\u2014and some parts of the metro area could feel like <strong>-20\u00b0C<\/strong>.

It\u2019s also tough on infrastructure: frozen pipes, slippery roads, transport delays, and higher fire risk if people use heaters unsafely. A senior forecaster at the weather agency described it as a \u201ccomplex\u201d situation with <strong>heavy snow, strong winds, and dry conditions<\/strong> happening at the same time.

In other words, the <strong>South Korea cold wave<\/strong> isn\u2019t just a forecast\u2014it\u2019s already affecting real planning and public safety responses. A cold wave advisory is generally issued when the <strong>morning low is forecast to stay at or below -12\u00b0C for at least two days<\/strong>, or when temperatures are expected to drop fast enough to cause major disruption. In response, Seoul said it would move into <strong>24-hour emergency operations<\/strong> in affected districts, checking on vulnerable residents and sharing safety guidance.
