Higher than average temperatures under mostly sunny skies _ 011719

Good afternoon. It's going to be a very nice day to spend some time outdoors in the afternoon. Readings will jump back to above the seasonal average.

What's more, despite milder than average readings, we don't need to have our face mask ready for fine dust. Thankfully, the air will be decent across the entire nation, but those in the east of the country will need to beware of dry conditions with a dry weather advisory in place across the region, including Ulsan and Busan.

Beijing and Tokyo are also dealing with dry conditions but both be under mostly sunny skies with bearable temperatures in the afternoon.

Korea will be under sunny skies with highs going up by 3 or 4 degrees Celsius in most areas today.

But unfortunately we could see increasing fine dust again tomorrow, as readings will go up even higher, and it's likely to dusty through Saturday.

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