Weathermen forecast the cold wave will continue for several more days.

In Seoul, the mercury hit minus 18.6 degrees Celcius Monday... the lowest in 15 years. The eastern border city of Cholwon had the coldest weather at minus 27.6 degrees. The southern Cheju Island, where temperature rarely goes below zero, reported minus 2.6 degrees.

The Korea Meteorological Administration expects the weather to come back to normal from the middle of this week as the Korean Peninsula stays under the influence of a continental high pressure system.
