On the 6th, when the fine dust concentration in most parts of the country reached the 'Bad' level, the sky was entirely covered in gray, and the streets were filled with hazy smoke, resembling a scene from Gotham City.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that the fine dust concentration would thin out due to rain falling across the country from the afternoon, and then be washed away as cold air flows in from the northwest.
