On the 27th, over 18cm of snow fell in Seoul, setting a record for the snowfall in November since meteorological observations began in October 1907. The previous record for the largest daily snowfall in Seoul in November was 12.4cm on November 28, 1972. The heaviest snowfall in Seoul in any month was on March 24, 1922, with a daily maximum of 31.0cm. The cause of the unusually large amount of snowfall in Seoul is a low-pressure area currently located to the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. A low-pressure area is formed when part of the jet stream, a very fast upper atmosphere with winds that flow in a very meandering manner, breaks off. It holds cold air from the Arctic, making the atmosphere very cold and unstable. When cold air from the northwest passes over the warm West Sea, a snow cloud belt is created by the sea current. But this time, the cold air coming down from the low pressure area formed a low pressure trough near Baengnyeong Island as it settled, and the snow cloud belt developed further as it passed through the metropolitan area. Due to the influence of the low pressure trough, long rain is expected in the inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon-do and inland Gyeongbuk until the afternoon of the 28th, in southern Gyeonggi-do until late at night on the 28th, and in Chungcheong, Honam, and Jeju until late at night on the 29th. ================================================================================================================== 1.
