"It has been a cold start to the year across much of Europe, particularly in central regions, where temperatures dropped to double-digit negatives. Heavy snowfall hit parts of eastern and central Europe on New Year's Eve, notably in Poland and Ukraine, with similar conditions across the Alps on the first few days of the year. The cold is likely to continue this week as an Arctic air mass sinks south across Europe, pulling temperatures well below the seasonal average outside south-east Europe."
"In South Korea, the cold air mass brought snow, with Jeju island experiencing the greatest disruption. Flights and ferries were cancelled due not only to snow amounts, which reached more than 9cm in Jeju City, but also because of strong winds and significant wind shear. Corsica was also struck by remarkably strong winds. Gusts of about 60mph battered the heavily populated town of L'Ile-Rousse, while gusts approaching 100mph were recorded in the Cap Corse region, a peninsula in the north-east of the island."
Temperatures across much of Europe dropped sharply, with central regions experiencing double-digit negatives and widespread heavy snowfall in eastern and central areas, including Poland, Ukraine and the Alps. An Arctic air mass will push south, driving temperatures widely about 5C below average and up to 10C below normal in parts of central and north-eastern Europe, with wind chill intensifying the cold. South Korea saw snow and transport cancellations, especially on Jeju where over 9cm fell and strong winds caused shear. Corsica suffered exceptional gusts as cold air funnelled through the Rhone valley and around a Gulf of Genoa low, accelerating toward Cap Corse.
