Good morning. Expect another bright day along with high UV rays and dusty conditions over most of Korea...

Wear sunglasses and sunblock to protect your eyes and skin. It seems like we might also need face masks to protect us from the sun and dust.

... yellow dust will keep blowing in and the stagnant air will only cause dustier conditions.

The somewhat breezy morning is warming up rapidly... morning lows started off in the low teens but the highs will range from the mid twenties to 30 degrees.

For a closer look, Gyeongju will get up to 31 degrees Celsius while highs in Seoul will rise to 24 degrees. Daegu will hit 30 degrees.

With that, let's take a look at the international weather for viewers around the world.

South Korea will have mostly sunny skies but a dusty Thursday... while North Korea will also have sunny skies and warm highs, including at Punggye-ri, the nuclear test site in the northeast of the country.

The heatwave in New Delhi is getting serious, as the mercury soars into the mid forties...the threat of heat stroke looms large.

New Zealand had a bitterly cold morning .... but Wellington will get to 15 degrees with showers later today.

Over in Washington DC, it will be pleasantly warm through Friday under bright skies.

As for South America, wet weather will continue in Bogota for another week or so. Keep an umbrella handy.

Taking you to Europe,... Rome will be sunny while London will have a wet Thursday.

Lastly to Africa, Cape Town issues flood alerts on Thursday as heavy rain and cold weather passes over the Western Cape.

That's the weather update for now.
