[Weather] April-like warmth hits Korea but dusty in western regions

The spring cold that gripped much of Korea for the last few days has eased as we are welcoming Spring Equinox today.

Temperatures jumped up quite a bit this afternoon, and the morning jacket felt too warm in the afternoon but was needed again for the evening commute.

It will feel warmer tomorrow, feeling more like mid-April.

Now in terms of air quality, the smog that moved into western regions and parts of Gangwon-do today is forecast to remain through tomorrow. So be sure to keep a face mask handy.

Tomorrow morning should be more manageable under sunny skies with most parts beginning the day in single figures.

Then there will be a big jump in highs, getting up to 18 degrees Celsius in the capital, and Chuncheon, Daegu and Gyeongju seeing highs of 22 degrees Celsius.

By the weekend, it will feel more like the end of April on Sunday at a high of 21 degrees Celsius in the capital. Hopefully the air quality isn't too bad.

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