The region falls under the East Asian Monsoon region, and air movements from the Asian continent have a significant impact on South Korea’s weather as compared to movement from the Pacific Ocean.
Winters are typically characterized by long, cold, and dry spells, whereas summers are short, hot, and humid. Although spring and autumn are pleasant, they are also brief in duration.
For instance, the mean temperature in Seoul during January ranges from −5 to −2.5 °C, while in July, it records an average temperature of approximately 22.5 to 25 °C.
Due to its strategic location that is southern and seagirt, South Korea’s climate and weather are greatly influenced by these factors.
