Good morning. Seoul and Beijing will have higher afternoon highs today but Tokyo will see slightly cooler temperatures.

Here in South Korea, we are waking up to lower single digit morning lows while highs will rise above the seasonal averages under sunny skies.

But we shouldn't spend time outdoors for that long, high levels of fine dust are expected in the capital area all day today, the Gyeongsang-do Provinces and Daegu will see high levels in the morning.

As for today's temperatures, I've added two other major cities on the map,,, Chuncheon in Gangwon-do and Gyeongju in Gyengsangbuk-do Province, both known as popular destinations in South Korea... Both cities will have sub zero morning lows at minus 2 degrees, while Seoul is waking up to a low at 2 degrees.

Daily highs in most parts will be nearing the mid teens, topping out at 13 degrees in Seoul and Daejeon, Chuncheon will be mild as well at 14 degrees.

Expect much milder temperatures over the weekend and into early next week under mostly sunny skies but it will remain dusty.

That's Korea for you and here's the international weather for viewers around the world.
