Current Korea 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 island of Jeju off the southern coast is the warmest and wettest area in the country. The most ideal time to visit Korea is during the autumn months (September-November).
During this time, the country experiences warm, sunny weather, skies that are cobalt blue and spectacular foliage that is perhaps the biggest draw.

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 season thus one must book in advance to ensure that accommodation is available.
The summer months are muggy and hot, and rather crowded. This is also when the monsoon season begins, so many activities are subject to the fluctuations of heavy rain.
