Gwangju's Climate

Gwangju lies in the southwest of the Korean Peninsula, on an inland plain in the Jeolla region, with a humid subtropical climate shaped by the East Asian monsoon and marked by four distinct seasons. Summers (June–August) are hot, muggy and very humid, usually 28–33°C, coinciding with the jangma rainy season from late June into July and a risk of late-summer typhoons, while winters (December–February) are cold and dry, around 2–7°C by day with occasional snow. In between, spring is mild and full of blossom, and autumn (September–November) is cool, clear, dry and the most pleasant time of year.
