Yes, fine dust is a problem these days.
But today, the situation seems to be very serious as yellow dust is added to smog from China.
Yellow dust is already appearing in western regions such as Daejeon and Gwangju.
As the situation seems to be very bad, emergency fine dust reduction measures are being implemented nationwide from 6 am today, except for Yeongdong.
When is the fine dust emergency reduction measure issued?
When high-concentration fine dust continues for a long time, it is conducted to reduce fine dust in a short period of time.
It runs until 9pm today.
Businesses that emit large amounts of fine dust must change their operating hours and adjust their operation rates.
Because it is a holiday, there is no restriction on the operation of diesel vehicles with a level 5 emission level.
Let’s take a look at the current high-concentration fine dust situation.
Currently, it is ‘bad’ nationwide except for Jeju Island.
In particular, Seoul, Gyeonggi, Chungcheong, and Jeonbuk have soared to the ‘very bad’ level.
Currently, the high concentration of fine dust in Seoul is 105 micrograms per hour, three to four times higher than usual.
In particular, Chungcheongnam-do soared to 174 micrograms, showing a level six times higher than usual.
Ultrafine dust advisories have been issued in most provinces across the country, except for Gangwon-do and Jeju-do.
An ultrafine dust warning is in effect in southern Gyeonggi and parts of Chungnam.
Today, with the addition of yellow dust to smog from China, the air quality across the country is expected to soar to ‘poor’, especially in the metropolitan area, Chungcheong, Honam, Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island to ‘very bad’.
If possible, refrain from going out today, and if you do go out, be sure to wear a fine dust mask of at least KF80.
Please join us in reducing fine dust by using public transportation.

What will the weather be like tomorrow, a holiday?

Yes, the fine dust continues even tomorrow, which is a holiday.

Tomorrow, too, most of the country is bad, especially the metropolitan area, Chungcheong, Jeonbuk, and Yeongnam are temporarily expected to have a ‘very bad’ level in the morning.
It would be good for children and the elderly to refrain from going out tomorrow as well.
With a mild westerly wind blowing, tomorrow will be even milder than usual.
Tomorrow morning in Seoul, the temperature will be -4 degrees lower than today, but the daytime temperature will be 5 degrees, regarding 2-3 degrees higher than the average year.
[앵커]
What will the weather be like next week?
[캐스터]
Yes, January is the month with the strongest cold, but there will be no major cold for the time being.
But fine dust is the key.
Let’s take a look at the detailed weather forecast for next week.
Usually at this time of year, the morning temperature in Seoul is minus 6 degrees and the daytime temperature is 2 degrees.
Temperatures will be higher than usual throughout the next week.
It’s good not to worry regarding the cold, but fine dust can affect it, so it’s better to keep checking the fine dust information.
