- 5 years ago
Good afternoon. Warm westerly winds are bringing toxic dust from China. An ultra fine dust advisory has been issued in Incheon, smog alerts could expand to more regions as the entire nation will be dealing with very bad air quality. Expect to see some high levels of fine dust through the week.
We need to keep a face mask handy but won't need a thick jacket. Temperatures should be a lot milder today and daily highs will also be a couple of notches higher than the seasonal norms... in fact we can expect unseasonably mild air staying with us through the week.
Meanwhile, heavily polluted weather is likely to affect parts of China over the next 10 days until cold air arrives next week.
Mostly sunny skies are expected and daily highs in the northern regions will be a couple of notches higher while southern provinces will see readings similar to yesterday, getting up to 5 degrees Celsius in Seoul, and 12 degrees on Jeju.
With that, let's take a look at the international weather for viewers around the world.
