Temperatures surge well above average today _ 010418

  • 5 years ago
Good morning, temperatures will surge above the seasonal average this Friday, the mercury rising slightly higher than it did on Thursday,... but readings will fall once again over the weekend.

Those of us in the central regions will need to brace for some toxic smog, regions in the west including Seoul could see bad air all day, what's worse... micro fine dust levels will be high... we'll need face masks and scarves to protect ourselves from the cocktail of dust and smog.

The dust will get worse in the evening, so those planning to check out tonight's meteor shower will need to have face masks with you, but the air quality will improve by tomorrow.

Skies will be fairly clear throughout the day and into the night in most areas...except on Jeju Island with light rain in the forecast in the evening. Daily highs will be a tad higher than yesterday, getting up to 4 degrees Celsius in Seoul. Southern provinces will see temperatures similar to yesterday.

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