LIFE IN KOREA: THE FOUR DISTINCT SEASONS IN SOUTH KOREA

1. SPRING - One of my favorite season in South Korea it is usually warm, though mornings and evenings can be chilly from March to May.  Trees and flowers bloom.  Winter clothes are still needed in March.  People tend to dress lightly in April, and it sometimes gets very hot in May.

2. SUMMER - From June to August, the weather is hot, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C.  Heavy rain falls, Korean people called it Jangma, frequently occur between late June and late July.  A few typhoons with heavy rain and wind visit the country between August and September.

3. FALL - My second favorite season.  From September to November, temperatures get colder, ranging from 10°C to 25°C.  In November it is almost as cold as it is in winter.  People prepare winter clothes and heaters in advance.  The autumn leaves are very beautiful.

4. WINTER - In winter, the weather stays very cold, ranging from -10°C to 10°C from December to February.  During this period, the weather seems to run in a cycle of three very cold days followed by four less cold days.  Snow and harsh winds can be expected.  Warm clothes and heaters are necessary until it gets a little warmer in late February.
