Good afternoon. We are expecting a repeat of Tuesday's weather in South Korea, while Beijing will be hot and sunny this Wednesday.

It does feel like we are having two seasons in just one day with wide fluctuations in readings and we can expect similar temperature patterns for a while.
It would have been a great day for an afternoon stroll if the air were a bit cleaner.

Fine dust levels will rise again unfortunately, southern regions will have high levels of fine dust all day, while the capital area will see relatively bad levels at times.

So check the dust levels before going out, Seoul will get up to 20 degrees Celsius while Daegu and Gyeongju will rise to 23 degrees.

Strong UV rays are expected, so apply plenty of sunblock and wear sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong sunshine.

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

Most of South Korea will have sunny skies along with high UV rays, while most of North Korea will have a repeat of Tuesday's weather conditions.

As for the rest of Asia, commuters in Bangkok on Tuesday had to face bad weather as a result of a tropical storm that affected much of Thailand.
