Record Snowfall Transforms Seoul into Winter Wonderland

A historic November snowstorm has blanketed South Korea's capital, affecting daily life but bringing joy to tourists and locals alike.


On November 27, Seoul experienced its heaviest November snowfall on record, accumulating over six inches and disrupting transportation while delighting visitors. This unexpected weather shift marked a stark contrast from the preceding warm days, showcasing the unpredictability of seasonal changes in the region.


On November 27, 2024, Seoul was transformed overnight as the city faced its heaviest November snowfall since records began in 1907. Accumulating nearly 6.5 inches of snow by morning, this sudden winter weather contrasted sharply with the unseasonably warm temperatures experienced just days before. Tourists like Christine Domingo, visiting from Manila, described the surprise of witnessing both autumn foliage and fresh snow on her trip.

The Korea Meteorological Administration noted that this record-breaking snowfall surpassed the previous November record of 4.9 inches set in 1972 and is a reminder of the seasonal extremes experienced in the region. As commuters grappled with disrupted flights and road travel, heavy snow warnings remained in effect across the capital, with some areas receiving as much as eight inches.

The snowfall started around midnight and continued into the afternoon, blanketing popular attractions and providing scenic backdrops for countless photos. Despite the logistical challenges, many locals and tourists embraced the snowy conditions, taking to parks and mountains to enjoy this rare meteorological event. As holiday seasons approach, this unexpected turn of events has launched Seoul into a winter wonderland that captivated the hearts of both visitors and residents alike.
