The weather plays an important role in Korean culture, and certain weather conditions are associated with specific activities and traditions. Let's explore some cultural insights related to weather and seasons in Korea:
Korea's climate is influenced by its geographical location and topography. The country experiences four distinct seasons, with each season lasting approximately three months. Korean culture places great importance on the changing seasons, and each season is celebrated in various ways.
 
=== Rainy Days and Umbrellas ===
 
In Korea, rainy days are often associated with the use of colorful umbrellas. It is common to see people carrying umbrellas of various designs and colors to protect themselves from the rain. This cultural practice not only serves a practical purpose but also adds a vibrant and cheerful touch to the streets on rainy days.
 
=== Changing of Seasons ===
 
Korea experiences distinct seasons, and each season is celebrated in its unique way. The arrival of spring is marked by cherry blossoms, which are a symbol of renewal and beauty. Many Koreans gather in parks to enjoy the cherry blossoms and have picnics under the blooming trees. Summer is a time for beach trips, water sports, and outdoor activities. Autumn is known for its beautiful foliage, and Koreans often go on hiking trips to witness the vibrant colors of the changing leaves. Winter brings snow and the opportunity for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding.


=== Monsoon Season ===
In spring (봄), people enjoy cherry blossoms and various spring festivals. It is a time of new beginnings, and many Koreans engage in outdoor activities and picnics.


During the monsoon season, which typically occurs in July and August, Korea experiences heavy rainfall. This season is known as "jangma" in Korean and is characterized by frequent rain showers and high humidity. While the rain can be inconvenient, it is also a time when nature is at its most vibrant and green, making it a popular season for outdoor activities such as hiking and exploring the countryside.
Summer (여름) in Korea can be hot and humid, but it is also a time for festivals, beach trips, and water sports. Many Koreans go on vacation during the summer months to escape the heat and enjoy leisure activities.


=== Typhoon Season ===
Autumn (가을) is known for its vibrant foliage, especially in the mountainous regions of Korea. People enjoy hiking, visiting traditional markets, and celebrating the harvest season.


Korea is occasionally affected by typhoons, which are tropical cyclones that form in the Pacific Ocean. Typhoon season in Korea typically occurs from July to September. When a typhoon is approaching, Koreans stay updated through weather forecasts and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. Schools and workplaces may be closed, and outdoor activities are generally limited during this time.
Winter (겨울) brings cold temperatures and snow. Koreans celebrate the winter season with skiing, ice skating, and various winter festivals. Traditional Korean dishes and warm beverages are also enjoyed during this time.
