Climate Chart of Chuncheon, South Korea

Monthly data: Temperature °C, Rain (mm), Sunshine (h) · 2013–2023

Climate overview

Temperature

The monthly mean temperature is lowest in January, at -2.9 °C, and reaches its highest point in August, at 25.2 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the broad temperature pattern rather than the full range visitors may experience within a day. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 11.7 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest in January, at 0.47 mm/day, and highest in August, at 8.68 mm/day. These are daily mean amounts for each month, not monthly totals, and they do not show how frequently rain falls or guarantee dry weather in the lower-mean month. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 3.11 mm/day, rather than a day-weighted annual average.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in May, at 10.04 hours/day, while its lowest monthly mean is in November, at 6.80 hours/day. These figures can help set expectations for average sunshine when planning outdoor time, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and cannot predict conditions on a particular date. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 8.29 hours/day.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly value in December, at 2.09 mm/day. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 0.57 mm/day. These snowfall averages do not establish how many days have snow, how deep it becomes, whether snow cover persists, or whether conditions suit skiing.

Best Travel Time Guide for Chuncheon, South Korea: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights

If lower average rainfall is your priority, January is the conditional option in this dataset, with mean daily rainfall of 0.47 mm/day. That average does not guarantee dry days or indicate rain frequency, so flexible plans and rain protection remain sensible. For preparation, note that mean daily rainfall is highest in August, at 8.68 mm/day; this is not a monthly total or a forecast. Visitors prioritising cooler monthly mean temperatures may prefer January, when the mean is -2.9 °C. For average sunshine duration, May has the highest mean at 10.04 hours/day, while November has the lowest at 6.80 hours/day. These are separate planning criteria, not a combined best-time ranking; sunshine duration does not measure day length, and monthly means cannot specify the weather on an individual day.

The recorded mean daily snowfall is highest in December, at 2.09 mm/day. Use this as a broad indication of average snowfall, not as evidence of snowy-day frequency, snow depth, lasting cover or skiing conditions; check current conditions if snow would affect your plans.
