Daegu's Climate
Daegu lies in an inland basin in southeastern South Korea, ringed by mountains that trap heat and make it one of the hottest cities in the country. Its climate is humid subtropical with four clear seasons. Summers (June–August) are very hot and muggy, usually 30–36°C, coinciding with the jangma rainy season and the occasional late-summer typhoon, while winters (December–February) are cold and dry, dropping below freezing but seeing far less snow than many other regions. Spring and autumn are short but pleasant, dry and clear, and are the loveliest times to visit.
