About Korean Winters
If you come from a warm climate, you may find Korean winters on the chilly side. If you come from a northern climate, you may find Korean winters on the mild side depending on what part of Korea you live in.
Since Korea is a long country that runs north to south, the temperatures in winter vary heavily depending on where in the country you live and how close to the sea you live. The winds blowing over the sea bring chills that can cut to the bone.
Winter weather in Pyeongtaek, South Korea
In Pyeongtaek we deal with the cold winds that blow off the sea across the farms. Without much to break winds and warm the air, you will want to invest in windproof gear that keeps all of you covered. We recommend windproof gear that protects your head, hands, neck, ears, etc. Don’t be a hero, cover-up.
Additionally, we recommend having a list of indoor places where you can escape the house when the weather isn’t ideal. Below you will find links to blogs filled with locations to consider adding to your “winter fun” list.
