Blooming Ume Flowers

Warm temperatures are expected across the nation this weekend. Yesterday amid spring-like warm weather with the temperature hovering around 10 degrees Celsius, ume flowers on the street near the Beomo intersection, Suseong-gu, Daegu, blossomed 10 days earlier than usual. Bees are busy between the blooming flowers. Fortunately yellow dust, originally forecast to blanket the peninsula yesterday, moved to the West Sea, clearing up the sky nationwide. The Korea Meteorological Administration expects tomorrow’s highs to range between 8 and 13 degrees, continuing the warm weather.
