What's the climate like on the Korean Peninsula?

The climate of the Korean Peninsula is distinct in four seasons, and the north (Korea) is a typical temperate climate. South (Korea), like North Korea, has a humid subtropical monsoon climate. The annual average temperature is 8 to 12 degrees Celsius. The rainfall is suitable, and the annual average rainfall is 1000- 1200mm. North Korea's climate is a typical monsoon climate, and the dry season and rainy season are distinct, which is also a feature. In North Korea, completely different air currents alternate with seasons, resulting in completely opposite climate phenomena. There is a dry and cold north monsoon or northwest monsoon in winter, so there is a continuous dry and sunny cold weather. On the contrary, in summer, a humid and warm southern monsoon or southeast monsoon blows mainly from the tropical Pacific Ocean, with a lot of rainfall. In spring and autumn, the influence of the mainland and the ocean alternated, the wind direction was uncertain, the warm sunny days continued, and the precipitation also decreased. The climate in different parts of North Korea is very different. From the subtropical zone along the southern coast to the sub-cold zone in the northern mountainous area, the climatic conditions are different and the climatic phenomena vary from region to region. This is because North Korea is located in the middle latitude, which varies greatly with latitude, but it extends from north to south with complex terrain and is surrounded by the sea on three sides.
