Weather Conditions
Korea has four seasons, with a wet monsoon/summer in the
middle of the year, and a cold winter from November to
March. The most ideal time to visit Korea is during the
autumn months (September~November). During this time, the
country experiences warm, sunny weather, skies are cobalt
blue and the spectacular foliage is perhaps the biggest
d raw. Winters are cold and dry and remain a good time if
you are interested in winter sports as there are numerous
ski resorts. Spring (April~May) is also beautiful with all
the cherry blossoms in bloom. However, it is very busy and
one need to book in advance to ensure accommodation is
available. The summer months are muggy and hot, and rather
crowded. It is also when the monsoon begins so many
activities are subject to the fluctuations of heavy rain.

Spring
The cool breeze and warm sunlight make spring
in Korea a great season to travel. However, be aware that
the daily temperature varies over a wide range at this time
of year. Light long-sleeve shirts are adequate during
daytime, but a light jacket or a sweater will often be
needed in the evenings. In March, the coldness of winter
still lingers and you need to wear a jacket even during the
daytime. In April and May, you do not need a jacket, at
least during the warm daytime, but you may need a hat and
sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong ultra-violet
rays.

Summer
As a result of global warming, summer in Korea is definitely
getting longer and hotter. It also rains more than in the
past. June was once considered part of spring but feels more
like summer now. People start to wear light slacks and
short-sleeve shirts in June. In July and August, the
temperature on any given day can rise to as much as 35~40℃,
so short pants, sleeveless shirts, sunglasses, and hats are
now the common fashion.
Autumn
Fall, a season for trench coats, is the best season to visit
Korea because of clear skies and low humidity. In September
and October, long slacks, long-sleeve shirts, and cardigans
or jackets are ideal. November feels quite chilly, so a
thick jacket is usually needed. In Korea, the sunlight in
fall may feel more intense than in mid-summer, so sunglasses
and hats are recommended.
Winter
Winter in Korea can be bitter. No matter how hot the summer
may be, on a cold winter day, you will need a good
down-filled jacket or wool coat, a heavy sweater, warm
pants, a scarf, and gloves. On the very coldest days,
children and students wear fur-lined earmuffs and boots.
Many women also wear fur-lined boots.
