The PyeongChang 2018 Smart Weather Service kicked off on Feb. 5 and provides real-time weather forecasts in the three Olympic host cities of Pyeongchang, Gangneung and Jeongseon, and also in Seoul, Incheon and Yangyang.
Visit the website http://pc2018.kma.go.kr, run by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), and you'll have access to updates of temperature, snowfall, wind speed and humidity at 13 Olympic venues, including one for the Opening and Closing ceremonies.
The weather forecasts are offered three ways: in 24-hours real-time, a three-day short-term and a five-day mid-term forecast. Satellite and radar images of snow and cloud movement will add visual effects, too.
Alongside the weather forecasts, the website also offers earthquake alerts.
This service is available in Korean and English until March 18, when the PyeongChang Paralympic Games come to an end.
