North Korea

North Korea's climate is classified as continental, with four different seasons. Long winters offer very chilly and clear weather, sometimes accompanied by snow storms, courtesy of Siberian northern winds. Pyongyang's (North Korea's capital) average daily high and low temps in January are -2 degrees Celsius (26.6 degrees Fahrenheit) and -14 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit). During the winter, the average amount of snowfall is around thirty-seven days.

Summers, on the other hand, are often brief, hot, humid, and rainy, owing to the southern prevailing winds that bring wet air from the Pacific. August's average monthly high and low temperatures are 29 degrees Celsius (84 degrees Fahrenheit) and 21 degrees Celsius (69 degrees Fahrenheit), respectively. June through September accounts for around 60% of the precipitation (rainfall).

Spring and fall are transitional seasons characterized by warm temperatures and varied breezes that provide the most suitable weather conditions for visiting North Korea.
