In November 2024, South Korea experienced its heaviest snowfall in 117 years, marking an extraordinary weather event. This rare snowstorm disrupted daily life across the country. Seoul alone recorded over 30 cm of snowfall in just one day, leading to widespread traffic congestion and delays in public transport. The Korean Meteorological Administration attributed this unusual weather to a cold wave combined with moisture-laden clouds, which caused intense snowfall across several regions
Despite the severe weather, no major accidents or casualties were reported. The snowfall caused power outages in some areas, particularly in rural regions, and authorities worked quickly to restore services. Airports and train stations were overwhelmed with cancellations and delays
This event not only broke records but also highlighted the need for enhanced winter preparation strategies, given the increasing unpredictability of weather patterns in the region.
