It rained in Pyongyang.

An uncommon scene of people carrying umbrellas was witnessed in midwinter when the country should be covered with snow.

January 6 was the beginning of the severest cold according to the lunar calendar in Korea. That day it began to rain for the first time this year in the DPRK.

According to Kim Myong Chol, an official of the State Hydro-Meteorological Administration, the rain on one of the severest cold days is rare to be seen in the country. Usually, the lowest temperature in the morning of the Pyongyang area in and around January 6 has so far recorded about -10℃. But, the lowest temperature on the morning of January 7 this year was 1℃ with the precipitation of 24 mm.
