SEOUL, November 3 (AJP) - Morning lows in Seoul fell below 1 degree Celsius on Monday, prompting the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) to issue the season's first cold wave advisory for the capital and nearby areas the previous day.
Such an advisory is issued when morning temperatures are expected to drop by more than 10 degrees from the previous day to 3 degrees Celsius or lower, and at least 3 degrees below the seasonal average, or when the morning low is forecast to remain at or below -12 degrees Celsius for two or more consecutive days.
According to the KMA, morning lows were 0.9 degrees Celsius in Seoul, 1.0 degree in Incheon, and -0.1 degree in Suwon.
The KMA said cold air from the north caused morning temperatures to drop by 5 to 10 degrees from the previous day. "Daytime temperatures will recover to 15 to 20 degrees in midweek, returning to the seasonal average," said a KMA official.
