The Korea Meteorological Administration has launched its English mobile website (m.kma.go.kr/eng) for smartphone users.

Information to be provided includes current weather, digital forecast, mid-term forecast, world weather, satellite images, radar images, sea weather, mountain weather and weather information for daily life. Warnings for typhoons, yellow dust and earthquakes will be posted in real time, too.

Access to the mobile website is also available through its QR code.

The KMA currently runs English (web.kma.go.kr/eng), Chinese (web.kma.go.kr/chn) and Japanese (web.kma.go.kr/jpn) websites, and plans to open Chinese and Japanese mobile websites in the near future.
