What the numbers don't tell you
June is warm and dry in the first half, with afternoons around 27 °C, then humid as the monsoon approaches in the final week. Memorial Day on 6 June is a quiet holiday with ceremonies at the National Cemetery. It is a good-value window before the rains, with long days and the Han River parks busy in the evenings with picnics and delivery chicken. Rain falls on about nine days.
The Seoul Fringe and the Queer Culture Festival fall in June or July. The Yeouido fireworks are in autumn; June brings the Dano festival with traditional games. Daylight passes fourteen and a half hours. The first jangma rain usually begins around 25 June. For the monsoon and the cheapest hotels, see July.
