Heavy snowfall is expected in Korea's central region this Saturday, followed by a cold wave on Sunday. However, hopes for a "White Christmas" this year seem unlikely.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) on December 19, snow or rain is expected along the west coast, especially in the western coastal areas of South Chungcheong Province, on December 20.
Starting on the night of December 20, a trough of low pressure will move southeast from Korea's northwest, pulling snow clouds further east than before.
As a result, heavy snowfall is forecast for central Korea from the early morning until the afternoon on Saturday, December 21. Snow or rain is also expected along the coastal areas of South Jeolla Province and Jeju Island on Saturday night.
The expected snowfall from December 20 to 21 is as follows:
5 to 15 cm in the mountainous areas of Jeju Island
3 to 10 cm in the southern inland areas of Gangwon, the central and southern mountainous regions of Gangwon, and the eastern part of North Jeolla Province
3 to 8 cm in the southern and eastern areas of Gyeonggi Province and the northern part of North Chungcheong Province
During the passage of the trough, heavy snow of around 3 cm per hour is expected, particularly in the central region, where a heavy snow warning may be issued. Precautions are advised to prevent damage.

Although temperatures will briefly rise after December 22, they are expected to drop again from December 26 to 27.
Unfortunately, the chance of a "White Christmas" this year appears low. While a trough of low pressure is expected to pass through Korea's northeast from December 25 to 26, it is likely too far away to bring snow to the region.
