April’s weather in detail

Spring arrives in South Korea in April. Low rainfall, mild weather and the flowering of cherry blossoms combine to make this month one of the most popular times of year to visit South Korea.

It can still feel a little chilly in the mountainous National Parks of Seoraksan and Songnisan, and the temperature in the northern capital of Seoul may still dip just below freezing on occasion, but the southern areas of the country, such as Busan and Jeju Island, record mild daily temperatures that range from a minimum of 6°C and a maximum of 13°C.

If that's not enough to tempt you, the cherry blossoms begin to flower across South Korea during this month, which can arguably rival those of neighbouring Japan.

Saké and Seoul: Japan & South Korea

Japan and South Korea go together like ginger and chilli - two feisty neighbours running parallel to each other in so many ways. Their similarities run from technological innovation to mountainous landscapes, but with striking individualities that stand out. Seeing both countries in one trip gives you two perspectives on the same sunrise.
