[Weather] Ultra fine dust and fog on the way to work...Drying the East Coast Air

[Anchor]
This time, let's look into the weather on our way to work.

I'm connecting to the YTN outdoor studio.

YOON SOOBIN's caster!

Is the air very cloudy today as well?

[Caster]
Yes, ultrafine dust has been on the rise for two days.

Currently, the concentration of ultrafine dust here in Seoul has soared to 77 micrograms.

This is four to five times higher than usual.

On top of that, the situation is likely to worsen as fine dust from outside the country has been introduced this morning.

You should pay special attention to respiratory health care.

Also, I have to be careful of fog on my way to work?

[Caster]
Yes, there is currently a thick fog around the metropolitan area and the west coast.

In some areas, visibility is narrowed to less than 200m.

Due to this, 'low-correction warnings' are also being issued at Incheon and Gwangju airports.

Aircraft passengers, please check the flight information carefully.

Please drive safely to work.

The weather is milder than usual and the atmosphere is stagnant

The air is very murky in most areas today as well.

The concentration of ultra-fine dust is going up and down the level of 'bad to very bad'.

Currently, with 'ultra-fine dust warnings' continuing in Jungbu, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk,

Additional foreign fine dust is expected to flow in this morning.

As a result, "high-concentration fine dust emergency reduction measures" have been expanded to the metropolitan area, Chungnam, and other Midwest, Gwangju, and Jeonbuk.

These areas will be open until 9pm tonight,

The operating hours of fine dust emission sites and construction sites will be shortened.

Please note that the restrictions on the operation of class 5 vehicles and the two-part system of public institutions will be implemented.

Meanwhile, I don't have to worry about the cold this morning.

Currently, the temperature in Seoul is 3.4 degrees Celsius and Gwangju is 0.7 degrees below zero.

Even during the day, it will significantly exceed the previous year's temperature by more than 5 degrees.

Mid-day temperatures in Seoul will rise to 7 degrees, while Daegu and Busan will rise to 12 degrees.

Fine dust is likely to continue until the weekend in milder weather than usual.

It will be mostly sunny inland for the rest of the week,
The East Coast region of
is expected to receive rain or snow between Friday night and Saturday.

Until it snows, the atmosphere on the east coast will be very dry.

The wind is also blowing a little strong, because even small embers are likely to spread to a large fire.

Please take care of the embers thoroughly.
