Good morning. South Korea continues to swelter under an unseasonal heatwave. The first half of the week will be a scorcher, then rain on Thursday in southern parts of the country will bring down the highs. Seoul will also get some relief on Friday...but brace for the extreme heat for the next couple more days.

Daegu and the Gyeongsang-do Provinces will be the hottest areas again with temperatures hovering around 35 degrees Celsius. Strong sunshine will boost UV rays to very high levels across much of the country. Drink plenty of water and have your sun protection items handy.

What's bothering us the most is the toxic air, dusty winds blew in overnight and stagnant air flow boosted dust levels to high in southern areas and rest of the nation will also have relatively high fine dust levels.

Finally checking on today's highs, readings will be similar to yesterday... in the thirties for most areas.

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