Korean Weather



Four seasons in South Korea

I find Korean has very distinctive seasons; Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.

Spring starts in March and ends in May.
Summer starts in June and ends in August.
There is a monsoon season in July.
It's good to avoid travelling in the season unless you like the heavy rain. :)
Fall starts in September and ends in November.
Winter starts in December and ends in February.

There is not a ton of snow in the metropolitan city like Seoul.
But, other regions like Ganwon province get a lot of snow.
Since we have various atmostphere of winter depending on the regions,
ski is the popular sports and South Korea hosted the winter olympic in Pyeongchang in 2018. :)
