[Weather] Korea engulfed by nasty air, warmer than usual

Korea is engulfed by dusty air with an ultra fine dust advisory issued in many regions.

The concentration of fine dust is 3 to 4 times higher than normal levels.

Other than in the east of Gangwon-do Province and on Jeju, we need to keep dust filtered mask on all day.

Making matters worse, more dust will blow in this morning.

AND The capital and west coast had a rough commute with thick morning fog.

The east coast remains quite dry with a dry weather advisory being in place for more than a month.

Strong wind will be no help. Be careful with anything that could start a fire.

Afternoon highs will be 4 to 5 degrees higher than norms, topping out at 7 degrees in the capital, Daegu and Busan at 12 degrees under partly sunny skies.

Unusual warmth will keep dust in the air through the end of the week, then the Seollal holiday next week will be a freezing one with much improved air.

That's Korea for you, here's a look at the international weather conditions.
