As mild weather continues, concerns arise regarding air quality and fog in several regions. Recent reports indicate that the air quality has significantly deteriorated, with dust concentrations exceeding typical levels by over twofold.
Current Air Quality Conditions
In various areas, including central and southern regions, air quality has reached poor levels. Specifically:
- Seoul and other central regions are forecasted to experience unhealthy air quality tomorrow.
- Incheon has issued a warning for fine particulate matter, classifying air quality as “very bad.”
- The average air quality index for Gyeongbuk and Jeollabuk-do is also projected to remain in the unfavorable range.
Fog and Road Conditions
Expect dense fog in central areas and southern inland regions until tomorrow morning. The fog may freeze upon contact with the ground, potentially creating icy patches on roads. Commuters should exercise caution during their travels.
Weather Forecast
The temperatures tomorrow are expected to drop. Early morning readings could be as low as minus 2 degrees Celsius in Seoul and Cheongju, approximately three degrees lower than today. However, by midday, temperatures will rise, with Gangneung reaching 11 degrees Celsius, while Busan may see highs of 13 degrees.
Dry Weather Advisories
Dry weather warnings remain in effect for the Gangwon Yeongdong and Yeongnam regions. Notably, the dry conditions in Yeongnam have set a record for the longest duration.
- Residents are urged to be cautious against potential fires due to dry conditions.
- Pollution continues to impact health, particularly for those with respiratory issues.
In summary, stakeholders should monitor air quality and weather conditions closely. The combination of mild weather and fog presents health risks that require attention.
