Record snowfall hits Seoul in the heaviest November snow in 100 years

Seoul experienced its heaviest November snowfall in recorded history, with 16.5cm (6.5 inches) of snow falling by 7am on Wednesday. This surpassed the previous record of 12.4cm set on 28 November 1972. The snowfall caused flights to be grounded, and the city's streets were covered in a thick blanket of snow, making it difficult for commuters to navigate. The cold weather was unexpected, as the region had experienced mild autumn temperatures previously.
