Winter makes unexpected return as Seoul sees snow in April for first time in 81 years

2025/04/14 20:00

In other news. For the first time in over 80 years Capital Seoul recorded snowfall in mid-April as winter made an unexpected call. Bae Eun-ji has more. Snow piled up on flowers and trees, as South Korea experienced unseasonably cold mid-April weather. Over 10 centimeters of snow accumulated in parts of Gangwon-do Province on Sunday. Light snow and hail also fell in the capital area, as it went through an unusual spring chill. Snow of up to 0-point-6 centimeters was recorded in central Seoul, between Saturday night and Sunday morning, making it the first time in 81 years that the city saw snow in April. This is mainly because of cold arctic air passing through the Korean peninsula. The weather turned turbulent as the lingering cold air from above clashed with a mild spring breeze on the ground, causing gusty winds and hail. Strong winds battered the country over the weekend, leading to widespread damage. In Jeju, the winds damaged roofs and toppled trees. In Busan, winds of up to 30 meters per second brought down signboards and caused power outages. Also in the capital area, at Incheon airport, a tug vehicle crashed into an aircraft on the ground, leading to flight delays. The national weather service says strong winds and falling temperatures are forecast for the coming days. "Damage from strong winds is expected until Monday, and temperatures will start to go up from Wednesday. We're expecting to see temperatures return to normal starting late this week." Rain or snow is expected across the country until Tuesday before spring warmth returns later this week. Bae Eun-ji, Arirang News.
