After the cold wave, fine dust...Smog today, cold again tomorrow.

As the fierce cold wave recedes, fine dust rises without fail.

The stuffy sky will continue until this afternoon, and the cold air will come down to relieve it, but the cold weather will come again.

Reporter Kim Min-kyung's report.

The city center of Seoul from the 63rd building looks blurry as if it has a blurry filter.

Lotte Tower, which stands tall in the distance, is also vague in the cloudy air.

The air quality deteriorated due to the addition of morning fog and smog from China, while the atmosphere stagnated after the cold air receded.

Yesterday, the concentration of ultrafine dust in Yongdong-myeon, Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, soared to 114μg per cubic meter,

Yeongdong, Chungbuk, 80㎍g in Anseong, Gyeonggi, and 58㎍g in Seoul, continued to be "bad" throughout the country.

The murky air stays until today.

[Yoon Jong-min / General Manager of Air Quality Integrated Forecast Center, National Institute of Environmental Research: (Today) Bad foreign fine dust enters the Midwest and then moves southeast, affecting the southern part of the country until night...]

From this afternoon, the air will gradually clear as cold winds push away the dust, but the cold is expected to follow immediately.

[Nam Min-ji / Meteorological Agency forecaster: (Today) From daytime, the wind changes to the northwest wind, and the temperature gradually decreases, and on Wednesday the 15th, the temperature will be more than 5 degrees lower than the previous day, so please take care of your health.]

Although it is not as intense as last week's cold wave, there is a high possibility that cold wave warnings will be issued everywhere.

The cold air will pass through the West Sea and snow will fall again on the west coast, but the amount will not be as large as 1 to 5cm.

The east coast, which is getting drier due to the lack of snow rain, has a growing risk of forest fires, so you should be careful not to overdo even a small fire.
