Climate Chart of Daegu, South Korea

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

Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean temperature occurs in January, at 0.1 °C; the warmest occurs in August, at 26.6 °C. These are averages for the whole month, not daytime highs, so they provide a seasonal-scale reference rather than a forecast of afternoon conditions. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 13.8 °C, a compact summary that does not give greater weight to longer months.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest in January, at 0.65 mm/day, and highest in July, at 6.58 mm/day. These figures describe average daily amounts within each month, not monthly totals, and they do not reveal how often rain falls or guarantee dry or wet days. The unweighted mean of the monthly values is 2.93 mm/day; visitors should still allow for day-to-day variation when making plans.

Sunshine

Average daily sunshine reaches its highest value in May, at 10.02 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 7.38 hours/day. This can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, though sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear skies on a particular date. The unweighted mean across monthly sunshine averages is 8.35 hours/day.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in March, at 0.96 mm/day; the unweighted mean across monthly means is 0.16 mm/day. These daily averages do not establish how many days receive snow, how deep it becomes, whether snow cover persists, or whether conditions suit skiing.

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

If lower average rainfall is a priority, January is the conditional option in the monthly data, with mean daily rainfall of 0.65 mm/day; this does not guarantee dry days or indicate how frequently rain occurs. For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant reference, with a mean temperature of 0.1 °C. These are separate criteria rather than a single best-time ranking. Rain preparation is particularly relevant for July, when mean daily rainfall is 6.58 mm/day; the average is not a forecast for your travel dates, so flexible plans and rain protection are sensible. For outdoor sightseeing planned around sunshine, the monthly mean is highest in May at 10.02 hours/day, while the lowest is in December at 7.38 hours/day. Sunshine duration can inform broad expectations, but it is not day length and cannot promise clear conditions.

Snowfall planning should remain cautious: the highest monthly mean daily snowfall is 0.96 mm/day in March. This amount does not show the number of snowy days, snow depth or persistence, so it cannot establish likely ground conditions for a particular visit.
