Spring Warmth And Bad Air Quality Grip The Korean Peninsula.

South Koreans woke up to unseasonably warm temperatures today, with highs reaching 24°C in some southern regions—nearly 7°C above the seasonal average. However, the warmth has been overshadowed by a mounting air quality crisis. Ultrafine dust levels reached the bad category across the nation, attributed to a combination of stagnant high-pressure systems and pollutants carried by northwesterly winds from a recent large-scale wildfire in China’s Liaoning Province.
