Current
Weather at Seoul's Gimpo International
Airport
The climate of
Seoul features a humid subtropical and humid
continental climate (Köppen climate
classification). Seoul is classed as having
a temperate climate with four distinct
seasons, but temperature differences between
the hottest part of summer and the depths of
winter are extreme.
In summer the
influence of the North Pacific high-pressure
system brings hot, humid weather with
temperatures soaring as high as 35 °C (95
°F) on occasion. In winter the city is
topographically influenced by expanding
Siberian high-pressure zones and prevailing
west winds, temperatures dropping as low as
-13.7 °C (7 °F). The bitterly cold days tend
to come in three-day cycles regulated by
rising and falling pressure systems, during
winter snowfall can cause frosty weather in
the city.
The most
pleasant seasons in the city are spring and
autumn, when azure blue skies and
comfortable temperatures are a sure bet. The
city experiences heavy rainfall almost every
month, but most of it falls in the summer
monsoon period between June and September,
as a part of East Asian monsoon season.
