Time now for the weather update, we have our weathercaster Lee Jee-hyun at Gangnam Station,... one of Seoul's busiest commuter hubs... Jee-hyun, I think most of us in Korea don't mind a bit of rain and colder temperatures as long as we get the clean air.
Good morning, Mark. Indeed, Gangnam Station is always packed with huge crowds and traffic... but even being in the middle of Gangnam, me and our crew just talked about how clean the air is today, especially after yesterday's unbearable toxic smog.
For today, instead of raincoats or a face mask... dress warmly on your way out.
Overnight rain has let up and cleared all the dust from the air. It stopped raining here in Seoul earlier this morning while the rest of country could see on and off light drizzle in the morning hours.
Temperature-wise, bearable temperatures start off the day but from this afternoon, colder winds will blow in and it should feel chillier than the actual digits. The spring cold snap returns tomorrow morning with a low of minus 1 degree Celsius.
Winter coats are needed as it might feel a bit chilly even in the afternoon. Daily highs will be a few notches lower than yesterday. Seoul will get up to 13 degrees Celsius. Wearing a scarf is a great idea to keep you warm.
Today is Chunbun which is the spring equinox, marking the halfway point between the winter and summer solstice. But rather in Seoul we'll go through a winter-like morning for the next few days Dress accordingly to avoid catching a cold.
That's Korea for you and here's the international weather for viewers around the world.
