The Korea Meteorological Administration said 16.5cm of snow fell by 7am local time, on Nov 27, 2024. Youn Ki-han, director at Seoul’s Meteorology Forecast Division, told AFP that the heavy snowfall was caused by the “significant temperature difference between the sea surface and the cold air”. A heavy snow warning urged residents to refrain from operating vehicles and engaging in outdoor activities. South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol called on officials to “minimise potential damage and public inconvenience caused by the snow”, as the heavy snowfall was expected to continue until the morning of Nov 28. - Photo: EPA-EFE
