What is the temperature in Seoul, South Korea in May? Will it rain?
Well, Korea in May is full of such events, but what I'm concerned about is the temperature.👀
The temperature in Seoul is relatively warm in May.🌸
The average temperature is 18 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius, making it a pleasant time to visit, making May the perfect season for sightseeing.💡
However, depending on the day, the temperature can rise to nearly 30℃, so be sure to stay hydrated.🌱
Also, the temperature drops significantly in the morning and evening, so you need to be careful about the temperature difference between the day and the day.
Monthly precipitation is around 110mm☔Just think it's about the same as Tokyo!
Let's go to Seoul, South Korea in May! What are the appropriate clothes and things to bring?
