Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]
Korea experiences distinct weather patterns throughout the year, influenced by its geographical location and climate. The country has four distinct seasons, each with its own unique characteristics and cultural significance.
During spring (봄), the weather gradually warms up, and colorful cherry blossoms (벚꽃) bloom across the country. Koreans enjoy outdoor activities, such as picnics under cherry blossom trees. It is also a time for new beginnings, and many schools and companies start their academic or fiscal year in spring.
Summer (여름) in Korea is hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. This season is known for its monsoon rains, which bring relief from the heat but can also cause flooding. Koreans enjoy various water activities, such as going to the beach or visiting water parks.
Autumn (가을) is considered the most beautiful season in Korea, characterized by mild temperatures and vibrant foliage. Many tourists visit Korea during this time to witness the stunning autumn colors in the mountains. Koreans also celebrate the harvest season with festivals and traditional rituals.
Winter (겨울) in Korea is cold, with temperatures dropping below freezing. Snowfall is common, especially in the northern regions. Koreans enjoy winter sports like skiing and snowboarding.
