[Weather] Warmth like mid-April in west with normal air quality under bright skies nationwide

Expect a pleasant spring day across Korea.

Especially those of us in the west will have mid-April-like temperatures with highs surpassing 20 degrees in Gwangju.

The best part? Air quality will be normal in most parts, so you can better enjoy the sunshine. But those in Daejeon, Gwangju and Jeollabuk-do could notice dusty air at times during the day.

This mild trend will stick around through Saturday before cooler air moves in on Sunday with nationwide wintry precipitation. Next Monday, we'll be waking up to subzero temperatures.

So make the most of this warm stretch under cleaner air today, Seoul gets up to 18 degrees, Daejeon at 20 degrees. Meanwhile, easterly winds will drag down the highs a couple of degrees in eastern parts of Korea with highs of 14 degrees in Gyeongju and 15 degrees in Busan.

Jeju and the south coast will see rain from tomorrow expanding nationwide on Sunday and lingering into early next week. It will be much chillier than this week.
