Today is Daeboreum or the day when we greet the first full moon of the new lunar year. There are lots of fun traditions followed on Daeboreum. To name a few, we have Ogokbap, or five-grain rice with seasoned herbs. Also cracking open nuts with your teeth is believed to help strengthen their teeth and avoid skin problems in the coming year. And on a Daeboreum night people practice Daljip-taeuki, or the burning of wood sticks to bring good luck. <br /><br /> In fact, some of Korea's major attractions will have a great one-day Daeboreum program today so if you want to experience any of the customs I just mentioned, be sure to check it out. <br /><br /> But dress accordingly if you are heading out especially those in the upper regions, daily highs in Seoul will only be at 4 degrees Celsius in Seoul, but it will be 11 degrees in Gwangju under mostly sunny skies. <br /><br /> Spring warmth is on the way this weekend, but be aware of big gaps between lows and highs on Saturday with light rain in store on Sunday afternoon. <br /><br />With that, let's take a look at the international weather for viewers around the world. <br /><br /> While the nation is in a grip of spring cold on this Daeboreum, most parts in North Korea will also see colder temperatures but sunny skies. <br /><br />As for the rest of Asia, Beijing will be a lot milder than Seoul under mostly sunny skies. <br /><br />Meanwhile, those in Perth will see sunny skies turning grey along with stronger winds. <br /><br />Heading to North America, New York, Washington DC and LA will have a rainy Friday. <br /><br />As for South America, nothing but sunshine is in store in Santiago and Buenos Aires with very warm highs. <br /><br />Meanwhile,... Europe is gripped by some of the coldest weather in a decade, but the Europe and the U.K. are bracing for more snow as Winter Storm Emma moves in. <br /><br />Lastly to Africa, most major cities will be under sunny skies while Cape Town will be cloudy with strong winds. <br />
