[앵커]

It will be warm like this spring on the weekend.

It is said that the Yeongdong region has a high temperature and dry wind, so it is necessary to be wary of wildfires.

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

Hi.

Compared to yesterday morning, the air that touches my face seems to be softer.

What was the temperature this morning?

[캐스터]

Yes, there was no great cold this morning, as the cold had eased from daytime yesterday.

Yesterday the morning in Seoul was 7.1 degrees below zero.

Today the video was 5.6 degrees.

It was 13 degrees higher than yesterday.

The daytime temperature also rises significantly.

It will be as warm as early April at 13 degrees in Seoul, 16 degrees in Daejeon and 18 degrees in Daegu.

Light clothing suits during the day, but when the sun goes down, the temperature drops to a single digit.

Please wear several layers of thin clothes to control your body temperature well.

[앵커]

It’s nice because it’s warm, but there are areas where you need to be aware of fine dust?

[캐스터]

Yes, it is fine dust again as the day is released.

Yesterday’s fine dust remains, and as smog and yellow dust from China flow in, high-density fine dust is gradually getting thicker.

Today, mainly in the central region, the air is cloudy.

The metropolitan area, Yeongseo, and Chungcheong are expected to be’bad’ all day long, and Yeongdong, Jeonbuk, and Gwangju are expected to be temporarily’bad’ in the morning.

The air quality is expected to be good in Jeonnam, Yeongnam and Jeju Island as the concentration of fine dust is’normal’.

Even tomorrow, a holiday, the air quality is not good, especially in the central region.

[앵커]

This time, let’s also look at the situation of strong winds in the Yeongdong region.

How hard is the wind blowing now?

[캐스터]

Yes, forest fires are emergency in the East Coast and Yeongdong Province.

This is because the dry weather continues to this area and the wind is blowing strongly.

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.

Shall we look at the current news report?

Currently, construction warnings are issued around the Yeongdong and Yeongnam East Coasts.

When looking at the strong wind warning, strong wind warnings are in effect on Yeongdong and the east coast, especially in the mountainous areas of Gangwon.

This morning, in Misiryeong, an instantaneous gust of wind blew up to 38.8 meters per second and Mt. Seorak up to 34.1 meters.

At 30 meters per second, street trees can be picked up and the old house collapsed.

At 35 meters per second, the train can derail.

It is a strong wind that is difficult to feel if you do not experience it yourself.

Do you remember the wildfire that occurred in Goseong and Sokcho in 2019?

At that time, the maximum instantaneous wind speed was 35.6 meters per second.

It is at a similar level as it is now.

The winds will be very strong until today in the Yeongnam coast and in the mountains of Gangwon and the east coast of Gangwon until tomorrow afternoon.

Even small embers have a high risk of spreading to large wildfires

Burning garbage, paddy fields, and agricultural waste near forests is absolutely prohibited.

Please be alert and prepare thoroughly to avoid wildfire.

[앵커]

Finally, what about the holidays and the weather forecast for next week?

[캐스터]

Yes, tomorrow, a holiday, gets warmer than today.

Tomorrow, the daytime temperature in Seoul rises to 15 degrees, and Daegu in the southern region rises to 22 degrees.

In the case of the southern region, those with a lot of activity may feel a little hot.

However, fine dust remains in the central region tomorrow, so you should check the fine dust information.

What about the weather next week?

The weather in the spring continues until the next Monday, then it gets colder on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

There are places where it rains.

Rain forecasts are coming out in the south and Jeju Island in the middle of next week.
