Good morning, South Korea is on high alert for a nasty combination of toxic smog and yellow dust with dust levels approaching very bad levels. The toxic smog is gradually moving southwards...southern provinces will be dealing with dustier conditions for the rest of morning.

Avoid unnecessary outdoor activities until the air quality improves or have your face covered. It's quite bad outside...Fine dust alerts remain in effect in most regions. The dust is forecast to ease this morning in the central regions but southern regions will remain dusty until noon.

Highs though will be a tad cooler, getting up to 10 degrees in Seoul, 12 degrees in Daegu and Gwangju.

Temperatures will drop on Thursday but expect to see readings rebound to the mild side. On Friday meaning, we could be hit by another round of fine dust.

That's Korea for you and here's the international weather for viewers around the world.
