Weather and climate in Korea

As far as precipitation is concerned, the weather in Korea belongs to continental climate and monsoon climate. The climate in Korea is characterized by four distinct seasons.

spring

In Korea, it is usually spring from March to May. In early spring, the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, because the climate change is greater than that in summer and winter, so long-sleeved and short-sleeved sweaters should be prepared. The spring climate in Korea is its peak from April to the end of May. At that time, the weather in the whole country became sunny, and all kinds of flowers were covered with branches and colorful. Various flower shows and celebrations were also held. In terms of seasonal characteristics, you can see hot air rising during the day and yellow sand blowing from China, especially the yellow spring rain in early spring can cause eye diseases, so you must take an umbrella.

summer vacation

South Korea has a humid and hot summer from June to August. The average temperature in summer is 22~26℃, which is not very hot from the meteorological point of view, but it is wet and hot due to the geographical characteristics of Korea. Therefore, it is best to wear a cotton T-shirt that is breathable and easy to absorb sweat in summer. From the end of June to the middle of July, the whole country entered the rainy season, with rainfall of 200~400㎜. After the rainy season, the temperature rises, the highest temperature reaches 34℃, and sometimes the lowest temperature exceeds 25℃ in a day, resulting in tropical night phenomenon. Because of this weather, Koreans will have a summer vacation of 3-7 days from the end of July to the beginning of August. At the end of August, this hot weather will gradually end, and then there will be typhoons accompanied by strong winds and heavy rains. After the heavy rain, you can feel the arrival of autumn.

autumn

Autumn in Korea from September to 165438+ 10 is also the most beautiful season. There will be warm sunshine during the day and a cool evening breeze at night. Early autumn is the time when the temperature difference is the largest in a year. Just like early spring, you should prepare short-sleeved and long-sleeved clothes. The rainstorm weather at the end of August lasted until the beginning of September. Don't forget to take an umbrella when you go out. At the beginning of September, the storm will pass, the maple leaves on the mountain will turn red, and English will become colorful. Autumn is crisp. Wan Li is probably the most appropriate word to describe Korean autumn. In Korea, this time is the season of autumn harvest, and various celebrations will be held on the Mid-Autumn Festival (Korean Autumn Harvest Thanksgiving Day) and other folk festivals.

winter days

South Korea has a dry and cold winter from June 5438+February to the end of February of the following year. From the meteorological point of view, the average temperature in most areas is -5~-9℃, but it will feel colder than the actual temperature due to the influence of cold air from Siberia. In gangwon, the temperature in mountain villages is below average, and the temperature in Jeju Road is generally above zero, which is very warm. The weather varies from place to place. Winter is an exciting season in Korea. Because 70% of the country is made up of mountains, there are not only various snow sports such as skiing in winter, but also snowy Christmas waiting for you. Especially in the months of 65438+February and 65438+ 10, various mountaineering and skiing activities were held.
