[Weather] Pleasant spring day but windy

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom, lighting up the streets of the capital area.

It's the perfect time to soak in the beauty of spring.

When you do head out, those in the western regions and Gangwon-do Province need to have a face mask handy, as the dust levels could spike at times.

Meanwhile, a dry advisory has been reissued in parts of Gyeongsang-do provinces.

Along with dry and windy conditions, even a small spark can quickly spread, so please be cautious.

Afternoon highs will rise to 19 degrees Celsius in the capital, Daegu and Gyeongju both seeing highs of 23 degrees.

Cloudy skies will turn much sunnier as the day goes on.

We'll see nationwide showers between tomorrow and Thursday, and there's another round of rain expected on Saturday as well.

As we're expecting frequent rain this week, which could cause the cherry blossom petals to fall earlier than we'd like.

You might want to head out sooner rather than later to catch the blossoms at their peak.
