Good afternoon, overall the Ministry of Environment is saying air conditions have improved compared to yesterday but those of us in the central-west regions could have another choking day so check the levels before heading out.

Temperatures will be milder than yesterday, hovering way above the norms, the weather will stay relatively mild with highs in the upper single digits.

The cold morning turns to mild highs in Beijing, Tokyo's temperatures will remain in positive territory.

For a closer look at Korea's highs, it'll reach 7 degrees Celsius in Seoul, and double digits for southern provinces. Skies will be partly cloudy to clear across the country with a dry weather advisory in place for some regions along the east coast.

Higher than average temperatures will reach their peak on Friday and could soar to 9 degrees before readings dip down to cold levels... it will be fairly chilly Christmas with no snow in the forecast.

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