- 5 years ago
Good morning, the entire country is battling air pollution again today. We are covered with high levels of ultra-fine dust, most parts of the country will be in grip of toxic smog for most of the day, be sure to have a good quality face mask to protect your lungs.
Bad to very bad air quality is on tap with an ultra fine dust advisory in place for parts of Gyeonggi-do and Jeolla-do Provinces, and very likely more areas will suffer far more than normal levels.
Temperature-wise, as many of us can guess...readings are hovering way above the seasonal norms, daily highs will jump twice as high as yesterday here in Seoul, milder than average temperatures will carry on through the weekend. Expect to see dust flow around for a while.
Lows in most areas are similar to a couple notches lower than yesterday,... kicking off at minus 2 degrees in Seoul and Gwangju.
Lots of clouds will give way to sun by the mid afternoon with highs ranging from 8 to 12 degrees.
That's Korea for you and here's the international weather for viewers around the world.
