[Tomorrow's Weather] Most Areas Affected by Yellow Dust on Sunday... Fine Dust 'Bad' in Central Region

Until Sunday the 31st, yellow dust will appear in most regions nationwide. This is due to additional yellow dust originating near the Inner Mongolian Plateau moving southeastward.

Between the previous day and 10 a.m. on this day, dense fog with visibility less than 200 meters is expected mainly in the inland areas of Jeolla Province, southern inland areas of Gyeongbuk Province, and western inland areas of Gyeongnam Province, while other inland areas will experience fog with visibility less than 1 km. Airports located in the southern inland regions may face disruptions in flight operations due to the dense fog. The sky will be mostly clear nationwide, but the southern coast and Jeju Island will occasionally have increased cloudiness. Until dawn, there may be raindrops less than 0.1 mm on the southern coast of Jeonnam Province.

On the 29th, yellow dust originating from Inner Mongolia, China, carried by the northwest wind, flew into South Korea, leading to fine dust warnings being issued for most areas in the central region.

The morning low temperature is forecasted to be between -2 and 9 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 13 and 21 degrees Celsius. Frost and ice formation are expected mainly inland, so caution is advised for crop management.

Fine dust levels will be 'bad' in the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungbuk Province, and 'normal' in other regions. Gangwon Yeongseo, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Busan, and Daegu are expected to experience temporarily 'bad' levels in the morning.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea and South Sea coastal waters, and 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea coastal waters. Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the South Sea.
