The Korean Climate
|
|
The Korean peninsula is located mid-latitude in the Northern Hemisphere and lies in the transitional zone between continental and subtropical maritime climates. It has four distinct seasons, like much of the U.S., and the climate varies a bit between the northern and southern regions. In the south, spring and summer are normally longer, and in the north, fall and winter are longer. Spring is from late March through early May when temperate weather prevails with occasional periods of cold. Summer, June to early September, is often very hot and humid. Half the annual rainfall occurs during the monsoon months of late June to July. Fall lasts from September through November when warm days and clear weather make this the most pleasant time of the year. The temperature varies greatly between day and night. Winter is from December to mid-March. Winter is cold and dry with a traditional cycle of three cold days followed by four warmer ones. Snow may be heavy in the mountain regions in the north and east, but sparse in many major cities (such as Seoul). The sun shines brightly for most of the winter too, helping to reduce the sense of cold. For visitors to Korea, the most desirable seasons are spring, when a lush green blanket of renewal covers the landscape, or fall, when the hills are aglow with vivid hues of russet and gold.
