Climate

After a few days here, it's become easier to be able to predict what the weather will be like from day to day. I've been staying in Seoul ever since I arrived. According to a website I found, temperatures range from a low of 14*F to a high of 102*F. Summers, including this one, are pretty humid, but it's less so in the winter. From June to September is monsoon season, so that explains the increase in the amount of rain. The climate in South Korea, according to a book I've been looking at, is humid subtropical in parts, but humid continental in others. Other factors that influence the climate of the country are that it is a peninsula, which makes it easily affected by ocean currents, is located in the Northeastern hemisphere, and has many mountains, which may lower the temperature through elevation. More on that in the next post. I'm going to go sightseeing soon.
