Good afternoon. There's varied weather conditions across Korea on this first day of May, which is also Labor Day in Korea and China.

Cloudy skies will feature all day with rain expected to fall on Jeju Island and along the south coast from this afternoon, while the capital area will have to wait until tomorrow to see some welcome showers.

Until the rain falls, we'll be covered by high levels of smog and fine dust,... the capital area is likely to be dusty all day while the rest of the country will see the air quality improving gradually.

Temperatures will remain warm. Seoul, Daejeon and Chuncheon will all make it to 25 degrees Celsius, Gyeongju and Daegu will climb to 24.

With that, let's take a look at the international weather for viewers around the world.

South Korea will see some welcome rain from this afternoon into tomorrow, and most parts of North Korea will also see showers but with mild temperatures.

New Delhi on Monday recorded a high of 40 degrees Celsius, a notch above the season's average, and another sizzling Tuesday is in store for India's capital.

Those in Wellington will need to grab your scarfs... chilly weather looms for much of the week.

Heading to North America, it was the fourth coldest April on record in Chicago, but all is forgiven as Monday was the warmest day of the year so far. Expect more of the summer-like weather on Tuesday.
