Nation covered with harmful ultra fine dust _ 011419

Good afternoon. The nation is covered with harmful ultra fine dust. It's actually getting dustier each hour as more toxic smog from China is blowing in. Ultra fine dust advisories are in place for many areas across the country, and a good quality face mask is a must to protect your lungs.

Western parts of the country will likely see very bad levels of ultra fine dust all day, while the rest will see bad to very bad levels. However, many experts suggest we should open the windows for at least ten minutes, even on smoggy days.

No heavy jackets or winter gear is necessary, temperatures will remain on the mild side under mostly sunny skies, but expect the toxic smog to block out the sun.

Beijing will also be covered with unhealthy levels of toxic smog while Tokyo will have decent air quality.

Temperatures will fall on Wednesday, but we will have another round of mild weather by the end of the week and into the weekend.

That's all for me at this hour.
