Korea has four distinct seasons – spring, summer, fall, and winter. The most pleasant season to visit Korea is during spring(April-May)and 

autumn months(September-November). During this time, the country experience warm, sunny weather and blue skies with beautiful scenery.

Spring(March-May)

Spring is warm with various flowers including the picturesque cherry blossom, over the nation’s mountains and fields during this time. 

Average temperatures in spring range between 7.1℃ and 17.8℃. The weather remains chilly in March due to the last cold snaps, 

but begins warming up at the end of the month. Still, even in April and May, temperatures may drop after sunset. Therefore, 

a light outerwear is essential in spring. Popular spring fashion items include long-sleeved shirts/pants, cardigans, jackets, scarves, hats and sunglasses.

Summer(June-August)

Summer is a hottest season of the year. The weather begins heating up, with temperatures rising up to anywhere between 30℃ and 35℃ during  

daytime in late June to mid August. Light clothing, often made with “cooling” fabric, becomes essential for preventing overheating. 

Popular summer fashion items include light and/or short pants, short-sleeved or sleeveless shirts, light jumper, and sunglasses. Applying 

sunscreen is also highly recommended.

Fall(Sep-Nov)

Fall is mild and is considered the best season to travel to Korea. The weather in early September is warm, still hot during day. Then, 

it turns colder and drier starting late-September, contributing to the changing of colors of leaves throughout October. An outerwear is essential in fall. 

Popular fall fashion items include long-sleeved shirts/pants, cardigans, jackets and scarves.

Winter(Dec-Feb)

Winter is the coldest season. It can be bitterly cold during this time due to the influx of cold Siberian air. Heavy snow in the northern and 

eastern parts of Korea makes for favorable skiing conditions. 

Warm clothing is essential in winter. Popular winter fashion items include winter coats, sweaters, scarves, shawls, beanies, gloves, and boots.
