Climate overview
Temperature
The coolest monthly mean is in January, at 0.7 °C; the warmest is in August, at 26.3 °C. These are monthly mean temperatures, not daytime maximums, so daily conditions may differ from either figure. The unweighted mean across the monthly means is 13.8 °C, a useful broad summary but not a day-weighted annual average.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is lowest in January, at 0.95 mm/day, and highest in August, at 7.31 mm/day. These are average daily amounts, not monthly totals; they describe the scale of rainfall in each month but do not show how often rain falls or guarantee dry or wet days. The unweighted mean of the monthly means is 3.45 mm/day.
Sunshine
Average daily sunshine duration reaches its supplied high in May at 10.02 hours/day, and its low in September at 7.19 hours/day. These monthly means can help with broad daylight outdoor planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not promise clear conditions on a particular date. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 8.33 hours/day.
Snow
The highest supplied mean daily snowfall is in March, at 1.60 mm/day; the unweighted mean across the monthly means is 0.23 mm/day. These averages do not establish how many days have snowfall, how deep snow becomes, whether it settles or how long it remains on the ground.
Best Travel Time Guide for Gyeongju, South Korea: Ideal Seasons and Weather Insights
For visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, January is the conditional option indicated by the lowest mean daily rainfall, 0.95 mm/day; this does not guarantee dry days or quantify rain frequency. By contrast, August has the highest mean daily rainfall at 7.31 mm/day, so rain preparation is relevant when planning travel then. Those seeking cooler monthly-average conditions can use January as a reference, with a mean temperature of 0.7 °C. For outdoor plans guided by average sunshine duration, May has the supplied high at 10.02 hours/day, while September has the low at 7.19 hours/day; sunshine hours are not day length or a guarantee of clear weather. These criteria point to different considerations rather than a universal best time to visit.
The snowfall average is highest in March at 1.60 mm/day, but a mean daily amount cannot tell you whether snow will fall during a visit or establish snow cover or skiing conditions. Treat it as a broad climate reference, not a forecast; daily weather can depart from monthly averages.
