Today is 'gogu', meaning 'grain rain' according to East Asian Calendars... but it's not going to rain. Instead expect summer-like heat along with high levels of fine dust.

About the heat, a strong high pressure system that's been sitting over the south coast will bring record warmth to the nation.

Seoul and Daejeon will get up to 27 degrees Celsius-- readings we would normally have in June,... while in Daegu, Gyeongju and Chuncheon, it will feel more like July than April.

And unfortunately,... we'll have high dust levels along with high UV rays. Have your face mask and sunglasses ready.

Nationwide rain is in store for Sunday afternoon, and that will bring down temperatures to seasonal norms.

With that, let's take a look at the international weather for viewers around the world.

Most of South Korea will have summer-like weather under sunny skies along with fine dust, while parts of North Korea will be as warm as the South.

New Delhi's heatwave is set to get even hotter. Tokyo and Beijing will also have warmer than average temperatures under mostly sunny skies.

Major cities in Australia will enjoy a warm and sunny afternoon, a few early showers in Perth will turn to sunny skies.

Heading to North America, I hope those in Vancouver enjoyed the dry and sunny Thursday, because it will be a rainy Friday.

As for South America, Buenos Aires will have showers along with scattered thunderstorms, expect unstable weather conditions for a while.

Taking you to Europe,... most major cities will also have summer-like conditions. Southeast England, northern France, Belgium, the Netherlands and western Germany will be hot and sunny.

Lastly to Africa, Addis Ababa will have unstable weather conditions well into next Monday.
