Climate type
Subtropical · Volcanic island
Humid summers, Moderate winters
Jeju's volcanic latitude and Pacific exposure give it a subtropical climate — significantly milder than mainland Korea on both ends. Winters (Dec-Feb) stay above freezing (5-7°C); summers (Jul-Aug) hit 25-26°C with high humidity and monsoon-pattern rainfall. June through August is the wet season; September brings typhoon risk (real but historically less destructive than Japan's southern islands). Best windows are April-May and September-October.
