How to plan Korea events with weather in mind

Use previous-year weather and current forecasts differently: one for packing, the other for same-day decisions.

1. Official basics

Previous-year weather is useful for packing ranges, not a guarantee.

2. Weather decision

For outdoor Seoul events in June, check UV, rain, and heat before leaving the hotel.

3. Route shape

For Busan summer events, allow extra time for coastal crowds, humidity, and evening transport.

4. Final recheck

The production version should calculate same-period weather from KMA ASOS daily data.
