[기상센터][날씨] Holidays, warm but turbid air… Yeongdong is a wildfire emergency

[앵커]

Today, a holiday, it will be warm like spring, but the air will be cloudy.

In the Yeongdong region, even strong winds are blowing in dry weather, so it is an example that you should be careful about forest fires.

Let’s find out more detailed weather weather team with Yu Da-hyeon caster. Hi.

Fortunately, it’s not too cold today, but I’m sorry for the fine dust.

[캐스터]

Yes, it would be nice if the day was warm and the air was clean.

Fine dust is the problem.

As the atmosphere is stagnant, fine dust is accumulating.

Currently, the air quality in the whole country except Gangwon and Jeju Island is poor.

The high concentration of fine dust in Seoul is 57 micrograms per hour, which is twice the level of normal.

Even today, the concentration of ultrafine dust in the Midwest and Jeollabuk-do is’bad’ all day.

The air in Gwangju and Yeongnam also seems to be temporarily cloudy in the morning.

During the night, the concentration is expected to increase as smog from China is introduced.

[앵커]

Warm weather continues today?

[캐스터]

Yes, the air quality is unfortunate, but it can save you from worrying about the cold.

This morning in Seoul, the temperature was 4.9 degrees, similar to yesterday.

It gets warmer during the day.

Today, Seoul’s daytime temperature will be 16 degrees, 2 degrees higher than yesterday.

It is expected to rise to 22 degrees in Gwangju and 23 degrees in Daegu, and in the southern regions, the spring weather is expected in late April.

The temperature difference between morning and day, day and night is extremely wide, around 15 degrees Celsius.

Light clothing suits you during the day, but it gets cold quickly when the sun goes down. I’d like to make sure to pack some extra clothes.

[앵커]

The east coast needs vigilance against wildfires?

[캐스터]

Yes, the east coast is a forest fire emergency.

This is because the wind is blowing strongly at the typhoon level in dry weather.

In Samcheok and the East Sea, large-scale wildfire warnings are being issued, and in other east coasts, large-scale wildfire warnings are being issued.

Last Thursday, following the Yangyang forest fire, there was a forest fire in Jeongseon, Gangwon-do yesterday.

This morning, an instantaneous gust of wind blew up to 29.9 meters per second and 23.5 meters per second on Mount Seorak.

Usually, even if the wind blows only 5 meters per second, I think’the wind blows a little harder’.

Signs can fall off just 15 meters per second.

The strong wind of 30 meters per second blowing in the mountains of Gangwon is the level at which an old house could collapse.

If you witness a wildfire, you can report it to 119, 112, or city, county, or ward offices.

If the fire is spreading greatly and you are near the site, you have to deviate from the path of the forest fire with the wind backwards taking into account the wind direction.

If there is no safe area to evacuate, it is better to go to a place with little fallen leaves or a place that has been burned by fire and wait for rescue.

Currently, there is a construction warning on the east coast and a strong wind warning in Yeongdong.

Please be alert and prepare thoroughly to avoid wildfire.

[앵커]

Finally, what are the weather forecasts this week?

[캐스터]

Yes, I don’t have to worry about the cold tomorrow starting the week.

Warm spring weather is expected from early to mid April.

But from Tuesday, it’s shiny and cold.

Shall we take a detailed look at this week’s weather forecast?

Temperatures drop sharply between Monday and Tuesday.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the temperature in the morning of Seoul will drop to -5 degrees Celsius and it will be winter again. Fine dust also disappears.

The sky will be generally clear.

There are rain forecasts in the south and Jeju Island in the mid-week.

So far, we’ve been looking into the weather forecast with Yoo Da-hyun, the weather team.
