What it feels like
Rain changes how you move, and wind makes the same temperature feel much harsher.
When it tends to fit
- • If you’ll walk a lot and you’re sensitive to wind or rain, cooler/drier conditions tend to fit better.
- • For photo-and-walk trips, sunny days usually matter more than the exact temperature.
When it may not fit
- • If you struggle with humid heat, some seasons can feel tiring even when the numbers look similar.
- • In rainier periods, “walking as planned” can be harder—tight itineraries may not fit well.
What people usually wear
Not a single “correct outfit”—just common choices that cover most situations.
- • 🌊 Baseline: Sea breeze changes how temperatures feel. Even on mild days, lingering at beaches or viewpoints can feel colder (winter) or stickier (summer).
- • ❄️ Winter (0–12°C feel): Often milder than Seoul, but wind can sharpen the chill. Coat/puffer + warm layers, scarf/gloves are common.
- • 🌱 Spring (6–20°C): Trench/light jacket with shirts/sweatshirts works well. Keep one thin layer for breezy evenings.
The same numbers can still feel different depending on how you travel.
