June is typically a bit cooler than July and August, though still rather hot. This year we had a very mild, dry summer, but many years late June is the heart of rainy season. Trying to predict the weather is like, well, trying to predict the weather.

#1 is right! July & August are pretty much the same. This year, according to the weather report, the temps seemed pretty mild over there. Whenever I'm in Seoul in July it's like 37 degrees!!!

July is usually wetter (400 mm+ average in Seoul). August is often hotter. I'd agree this year was milder. In 2006 & 2007, it was 38c day after day in August, with high humidity. Just a couple of days of 36c this year.
