Thick coat of grime and dust covers every surface
- 5 years ago
For more details on the fine dust and today's weather, let's connect to Lee Jee-hyun at the weather center a bit earlier. Jee-hyun, so the Korean peninsula could be hit by its worst levels of toxic smog yet...
Yes Mark. If you've parked your car outside overnight you will notice your vehicle blanketed with a thick coat of grime and dust.
Western parts will likely to see very bad levels of ultra fine dust all day, while the rest will see bad to very bad levels, a good quality face mask is a must to protect your lungs, children and senior citizens will also need special care.
Ultra fine dust advisories are in place for many areas across the country, stagnant air flow and more toxic smog from China will only lead to dustier conditions... choking cities.
Temperatures will continue to remain on the mild side, but many would rather choose to shiver than deal with the air pollution. Things will improve on Wednesday with a big drop in temperature readings.
Morning lows in most parts are similar to yesterday, at minus 2 degrees in Seoul, minus 3 for Daegu, Gwangju and Gyeongju.
Daily highs will range from 6 to 13 degrees in most areas under mostly sunny skies. But expect to the toxic smog to block out the sun.
