Busan: When to Go

Weather

Busan has four very distinct seasons, and temperature contrasts between midsummer and midwinter are fairly extreme. The best time of year to visit is probably autumn, from September to November, when the weather is usually sunny and warm and the mountainsides are ablaze with bright colours.

Spring, from April to May, is another beautiful season, with mild temperatures and cherry blossoms spreading across the countryside. Winter, from December to March, is dry and can be very cold, but winters here are milder than in the north. The peak summer period - late June to late August - is the monsoon season, with unpleasantly hot and humid weather and heavy rainfall.
