WEATHER IN South Korea

The best time to visit South Korea is during spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November). These seasons offer pleasant weather, blooming cherry blossoms in spring, and vibrant foliage in autumn.

  • South Korea experiences a diverse range of weather patterns due to its varied terrain and geographical location. Generally, South Korea has four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
  • In spring (March to May), the weather gradually warms up, with cherry blossoms painting the landscape in soft hues of pink and white. Temperatures range from mild to warm, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities and sightseeing.
  • Summer (June to August) brings hot and humid weather, with temperatures often soaring above 30°C (86°F). The monsoon season, typically in July and August, brings heavy rainfall, especially to the southern and eastern regions. However, the summer also offers vibrant festivals and beach escapades.
  • Autumn (September to November) is arguably the best time to visit South Korea, with mild temperatures and stunning foliage as the leaves change colour. This season offers clear skies and comfortable temperatures, perfect for exploring the country's natural beauty and cultural heritage.
  • Winter (December to February) brings cold temperatures and occasional snowfall, particularly in the mountainous regions. Ski resorts become popular destinations during this time, attracting winter sports enthusiasts.
  • Overall, the best time to visit South Korea depends on personal preferences and interests. Spring and autumn are generally considered the most pleasant seasons, offering comfortable weather and picturesque scenery. However, each season has its own unique charm and attractions, making South Korea a year-round destination.
