Climate of Seoul
37°34′08″N 126°58′36″E / 37.56889°N 126.97667°E
Seoul, the capital of South Korea, features a dry-winter humid continental climate (Dwa) in the 0°C isotherm according to the Köppen climate classification. If the -3°C isotherm is used, the climate is a dry-winter humid subtropical climate (Cwa) and there are four highly distinct seasons. 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 bring colder air to Korea. The bitterly cold days are commonly known to come in three-day cycles regulated by rising and falling pressure systems.[citation needed] The most pleasant seasons for most people in the city are spring and autumn, when azure skies and comfortable temperatures are typical. Most of Seoul's precipitation falls in the summer period between June and September, from the East Asian monsoon and typhoon seasons.
Seoul is the capital of the Republic of Korea, with Bukhansan, Dobongsan, Bukaksan, Inwangsan, and Ansan to the north, and Suraksan and Buramsan to the northeast after Dobongsan. Achasan is located in the east of Seoul, Samseongsan and Cheonggyesan are located in the south, and Namsan is located in the center. The west of Seoul is an extension of the coastal plain starting from Incheon, and the altitude gradually increases as it comes to the east. The lowest altitude of Seoul is about 10m, and the altitude of the densely populated area is about 15 to 60m. The Han River flows through the center of Seoul from the east to the West Sea, and Jungnangcheon, Cheonggyecheon, Hongjecheon, Bulgwangcheon, Tancheon, Anyangcheon, and Yangjaecheon, which are tributaries of the Han River, are distributed throughout Seoul.
The average annual temperature is 12.8°C. The coldest month is January with -1.9°C, the hottest month is August with 26.1°C, and the annual temperature difference is very large with 28.0°C.
The average annual precipitation is 1417.9mm, with the lowest precipitation in January at 16.8mm and the highest in July at 414.4mm in July. The sum of precipitation in summer (June, July, and August) is 892.1mm, accounting for about 63% of the annual precipitation, and the ratio of precipitation in summer is very high among the total precipitation. On the other hand, the total precipitation in winter (December, January, and February) is 67.6mm, which is about 5% of the annual precipitation.
The average annual wind speed is 2.3 m/s, and the monthly average wind speed is the lowest at 1.9 m/s in September and the highest at 2.7 m/s in March and April.
The average annual relative humidity is 61.8%, the lowest at 54.6% in February and March, and the highest at 76.2% in July. The average relative humidity in summer is 71.8%, and the relative humidity in spring and winter is 56.3%, which is relatively dry.
The average seasonal observation value is October 28 for the first frost, November 3 for the first ice, and November 20 for the first snow.
