2019-01-18 7

Good morning. We'll have similar weather to Thursday today, but the top temperatures will be even higher Friday and Saturday.

That will lead to dustier conditions for some areas, right now, parts of the Jeolla-do and Chungcheong-do Provinces as well as Daegu and Gwangju are dealing with high levels of ultra fine dust. But more areas will be affected as the warm westerly winds will blow in as the day goes on

And it's very likely the capital area will be blanketed with ultra fine dust on Saturday, plan accordingly if you're planning to spend time outdoors. A face mask is a must to protect yourself from the toxic dust.

There'll be mostly sunny skies. Daily highs will range between 5 and 11 degrees Celsius... topping out at 5 degrees in Seoul and Chuncheon, Gyeongju and Gwangju getting up to 9 degrees.

Milder than average temperatures will persist into next week, colder mornings are in store on Monday but minus 6 degrees in the morning shouldn't be too bad.

That's Korea for you and here's the international weather for viewers around the world.
