Good morning. Unseasonably mild temperatures will continue this Tuesday, highs could climb to 7 degrees Celsius in Seoul, 5 to 6 degrees higher than the seasonal norms... and the milder than average temperatures will carry on for a few more days.

But unlike the clean air we had yesterday... western parts of the country could be covered in a haze of pollution starting this afternoon with toxic smog sweeping in from overseas, while the regions in the east will be under dry weather alerts with a warning in place for parts of Gangwon-do Province.
