[Weather] Welcome spring rain from this afternoon, stuffy air in west

The dry weather continues across much of the country, with fire danger still high due to gusty winds.

But today, we have some much-needed spring rain on the way!

Rain will start around midday in the Seoul area, spreading to the rest of the country, possibly reaching Gyeongsang-do Provinces tonight.

It won't be a lot of rain just about 5 to 10 millimeters, so fire safety is still key!

The western regions may feel stuffy today, as ultrafine dust levels remain high. Keep a face mask handy.

Skies will start off clear but turn cloudy as the day goes on. Afternoon highs will be slightly lower today at 15 degrees Celsius in the capital; Daejeon and Daegu will see highs of 18 degrees this afternoon.

Today's rain may linger in Gangwon-do's eastern region until tomorrow morning.

This Saturday marks Arbor Day and another round of nationwide rain is expected, so keep that in mind for any outdoor plans!

Meanwhile, expect big temperature swings between morning and afternoon and dress accordingly!
