[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] The afternoon of the weekend on the 11th will continue to have relatively mild weather. However, fine dust concentrations will be high due to smog originating from China.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the highest daytime temperatures on this day will be 3.4°C in Seoul, 6.5°C in Daejeon, and 6°C in Daegu, which is up to 4 degrees higher than the average for this time of year.

Clouds will cover the sky until tomorrow, and light rain will fall in Jeju Island from night until tomorrow afternoon. A dry weather advisory is currently in effect for Busan.

Currently, the ultrafine dust concentration in Seoul is 38 micrograms, and in Chungbuk it is 48, prompting an ultrafine dust advisory for Chungbuk.

Emergency fine dust reduction measures are being implemented in the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungbuk region. Due to stagnant air, fine dust levels nationwide except for Jeju will remain at a "bad" level.

On the holiday tomorrow, air quality is expected to be poor in the Seoul metropolitan area, Yeongseo, Chungbuk, and Daegu.
