[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] On Wednesday the 31st, yellow dust and fine dust are expected to thin out somewhat, but it will not be at a level to be completely relieved.

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "On this day, yellow dust and fine dust have mostly returned to 'normal' levels except for Chungcheong, the southern coast, and Jeju."

The weather will be mostly clear nationwide, but Jeju Island will have increasing clouds from the afternoon.

Morning temperatures will be around 5 degrees Celsius in most parts of the country (around 10 degrees on the southern coast and Jeju Island). Eastern Gyeonggi, inland Gangwon, some inland Chungcheong, eastern Jeonbuk, and inland Gyeongbuk will drop below 0 degrees, making it cold.

During the day, warm spring sunshine will spread evenly. Daytime temperatures will rise above 20 degrees in most areas nationwide (25 degrees in Jeonnam and Gyeongsang regions), making it warm. The atmosphere will be dry.

Also, due to yellow dust remaining in the lower atmosphere, PM10 concentrations will be high in some areas until the morning.

Morning low temperatures by region are forecasted as follows: △Seoul 7°C △Chuncheon 2°C △Gangneung 7°C △Daejeon 3°C △Cheongju 5°C △Daegu 6°C △Gwangju 7°C △Jeonju 5°C △Busan 10°C △Jeju 11°C.

Daytime high temperatures are △Seoul 21°C △Chuncheon 22°C △Gangneung 19°C △Daejeon 23°C △Cheongju 22°C △Daegu 23°C △Gwangju 24°C △Jeonju 22°C △Busan 19°C △Jeju 20°C.

Fine dust levels will be 'bad' in the metropolitan area, Yeongseo Gangwon, Chungcheong, Honam, Yeongnam, and Jeju regions, while other areas will be at 'normal' levels.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "Since the daily temperature difference will be very large, exceeding 20 degrees, please be careful with health management such as immune system weakening caused by sudden temperature changes."
