<Anchor> I've
been fine without worrying about fine dust for a while, but fine dust in the western regions including Seoul is showing a bad level today (20th).
There are places where it is difficult to secure visibility on the way to work due to smog and fog from China. We will connect the weather center to find out more about the situation. Please pass the caster Ahn Soo-jin.

There are many places where the view is
dark on the
way to work today.
During the night, additional smoke from China was introduced and the fog was entangled due to atmospheric congestion. As you can see, there are many places where the red line of sight has narrowed to around 200m around the west coast and inland.
Dust has also been added here.
Particularly, the place where the dust accumulates is in the western area, including Seoul. Currently, the concentration of ultrafine dust in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do is 83 micrograms per cubic meter, showing a very bad level, and Seoul has soared to a bad level.
Today, dust may be accumulated around the metropolitan area and Chungcheong area, and there may be times when the dust concentration is high in the Honam area.
This dust will be gradually eliminated tomorrow.
It is expected that cold air enters behind the rain clouds and sweeps away the dust.
Today's highest temperature in the daytime is 22 degrees in Seoul and Daegu, similar to yesterday.
