[Weather] There's no big cold today, but ultrafine dust ↑...Traffic Safety Attention

On my way to work this morning, fog and ultrafine dust were rampant instead of the cold.

Even now, the concentration of ultrafine dust here in Seoul is soaring to 94 micrograms, showing a level of 'very bad'.

The fog is still very thick around the metropolitan area.

As the fog and dust are likely to remain haze even during the day,

Please pay special attention to traffic safety, such as reducing speed with more distance between cars than usual.

With the atmosphere stagnant, the air is now very murky across the country.

In particular, the metropolitan area such as Seoul and some areas of Chungcheong have soared to the level of "very bad" and ultrafine dust warnings are in place.

High-concentration fine dust emergency reduction measures are being issued in the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungnam.

These areas will be open until 9pm tonight,

Shortening the operation of public and construction sites,
The operation of class 5 vehicles is restricted depending on
city/province,
Please note that the two-day system for vehicles
will be implemented.

If it's not for dust today, the sky itself will be mostly clear and the day will be as warm as yesterday.

The temperature will rise to 8 degrees Celsius in Seoul, 9 degrees Celsius in Gwangju, and 11 degrees Celsius in Daegu.

There won't be much cold for the rest of the week, but there will be many days when the air is cloudy.In the second half of the week

, the East Coast region is expected to receive rain or snow to soothe the dryness.

But until then, the atmosphere in the East Coast area will be very dry.

As the wind is blowing a little hard,

Please continue to pay attention to fire prevention such as forest fires.
