SEOUL, December 2 (AJP) - A cold wave advisory was issued for all 21 districts of Seoul and surrounding areas on Tuesday, just before a new cold snap hit the capital in the evening.
Such an advisory is issued when morning temperatures are expected to drop by more than 10 degrees Celsius from the previous day, or at least 3 degrees below the seasonal average, or when the morning low is forecast to remain at or below -12 degrees for two or more consecutive days.
Morning temperatures on Wednesday are expected to plunge below zero, with daytime highs remaining low in most areas as chilly winds blow.
In collaboration with local districts and relevant agencies, the Seoul Metropolitan Government will maintain 24-hour monitoring and ensure shelters are equipped with emergency and winter essential supplies.
To ensure the safety of elderly and other vulnerable people, the city plans to conduct phone checks and in-person visits as needed.
