[기상센터][날씨] The rain and the fine dust stagnated … what about the weekend?

[앵커]

Due to the slight rain, the ultrafine dust warnings in Seoul, Chungnam and Jeonbuk have been lifted.

However, it is said that air raids of fine dust continue even on weekends and holidays.

We will connect reporters to find out the situation and prospects of fine dust. Reporter Jeong Hye-yoon!

I wanted the fine dust to slow down, but is the high concentration maintained even on the weekends?

Yes, the fine dust that lasted for the second day has faded a little.

However, it is not a reliable situation.

This is because fine dust may become dark again this weekend and on holidays.

First of all, the emergency reduction measures for high-density fine dust, which are in effect for the second day, mainly in the metropolitan area, will be maintained until 9 pm tonight.

However, as the pneumatic bone passed, the concentration of fine dust and ultrafine dust dropped from the 100 µg level yesterday to the 50 µg level today.

Accordingly, all’ultra-fine dust advisories’ issued in Seoul, Chungnam, and Jeonbuk were lifted from 3pm.

However, tomorrow, the weekend, the air quality will remain at the level of’bad’ in the metropolitan area and Chungnam area.

On holidays, air quality is expected to worsen as smog from China is added.

Therefore, there is a high possibility that measures to reduce high concentrations of fine dust will be taken again on holiday afternoons.

The National Institute of Environmental Sciences stated that it is better for the elderly to refrain from going out on weekends and holidays.
