Good morning, after days of deep freeze ...the nation saw some welcome relief from the cold spell, especially those of us in Seoul. We enjoyed readings in the positive territory,... almost feeling like early spring with a high of 2 degrees...it will feel a lot milder today with an expected high of 6 degrees Celsius here in Seoul.

But dry weather will remain across much of the country, including here in Seoul, and dust levels could spike in the afternoon.

Checking on today's temperatures, Seoul and Daejeon are waking up to a low of minus 6 degrees Celsius, not too bad outside... it's quite bearable.

Afternoon highs will rise rapidly, Seoul and Daejeon will get up to 6 and 7 degrees with more clouds moving in as the day moves along, while Busan and Jeju will top out at 11 degrees Celsius.

Milder than average readings will be short-lived, we'll see readings plunging again on Sunday and Monday.

The cold will ease in PyeongChang as well but the Olympic Stadium where opening ceremony will take a place will have colder readings along with stronger winds.

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