It looks highly unlikely that South Korea will see a white Christmas this year.
 
The Korea Meteorological Administration predicted no snow and relatively warm weather for Christmas day.
 
The weather agency said that over the past 41 years, snow has fallen on Christmas only 14 times and accumulated on only eight occasions. 
 
The largest Christmas snowfall was in 1990 at two-point-one centimeters. One-point-eight centimeters of snow piled up in both 1980 and 2000. Even less snow accumulated on Christmas in 2012, at one-point-five centimeters.
 
Meteorologists predict that global warming will make it increasingly difficult for the Korean Peninsula to experience a white Christmas.
