Good morning. You will need to carry a face mask, yellow dust blew in from overseas on the back of westerly winds. Central western regions are waking up to polluted air, levels that are 4 to 5 times higher than usual. The season's first fine dust advisory has been issued in Incheon and in Chungcheongnam-do Province. Fine dust will sweep southern parts of the country this afternoon.

Temperature wise, an autumn chill in store for tomorrow morning at a low of 5 degrees Celsius, but readings will return to norms by the afternoon. This morning though we are waking up to higher lows than yesterday.

For a closer look, Gyeongju and Chuncheon are waking up to a low of 8 degrees, Busan and Jeju are relatively mild at 14 and 16 degrees.

Daily highs will range between 16 and 21 degrees, slightly higher than yesterday under mostly sunny skies but avoid outdoor activities unless absolutely necessary.
