Smoggy conditions to improve in the afternoon _ 011519
- 5 years ago
Good afternoon. Most of us in Korea have been trapped under a thick layer of toxic smog since yesterday, and we had a smog-choked Korean Peninsula all through the morning. It comes as no surprise that the season's first fine and ultra fine dust warning was issued across much of the country yesterday.
In fact, we faced the highest ultra fine dust levels since the levels were first measured. Some welcome news though is that the toxic smog should clear slightly in the afternoon as colder air blows in.
Surprisingly, Beijing is breathing in good air along with freezing temperatures, Tokyo is enjoying mild readings.
Back in Korea, Daily highs will be a couple of notches lower than yesterday, Seoul getting up to 2 degrees Celsius, Daegu and Gwangju getting up to 8 degrees.
A huge drop in temperatures will bring fresh air on Wednesday. But we are looking at milder than average temperatures by the end of the week. Let's all hope we don't face another round of toxic air over the Korean peninsula.
That's Korea for you and here's the international weather for viewers around the world.
