Dangerous air in Gwangju and Jeollanam-do.

The air in Jeollanam-do and Gwangju is dangerous, thanks to "yellow sand" blowing in from China. And so is the air in much of the southern half of the country. The weather agency has issued warnings. Here's a shot of the measurements from tonight, Sunday night (click to enlarge).



Thanks to an anonymous commentor on my last post for the link to "Air Korea." Here's information on Gwangju Air Force Base, from the US military's "Yellow Sand / Asian Dust Monitor System" (click to enlarge).



Off the charts, literally. That's very bad.
