Fine Dust Warnings in Effect
Due to the rising levels of fine dust, health officials advise residents to wear masks when outdoors. The situation is critical as fine dust advisories are in effect in multiple locations, including Jeollabuk-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do.
Weather Forecast
While the current conditions remain relatively mild, a shift is expected. A storm is likely to bring rain and snow to the eastern coastline, potentially alleviating the dryness. Areas in the Gangwon region could receive over 10 cm of snow.
