Busan in February

Korea's Lunar New Year (Seollal) moves between late January and mid February. Trains between Seoul and Busan sell out early around the holiday, so shifting your dates by even a day helps. It is still winter, so a scarf helps on the coastal walks. Rain is a little more frequent than in January.

Days averaged 10°C and nights 2°C, cool enough that outdoor sightseeing called for a layer. Out of 28 days, about 5 brought rain; the rest stayed dry. A visitor in 2018 met 1 rain day; one in 2024 met 13. The average of 5 hid that gap.

Nights dropped below 0°C on 11 days of the month on average, so early-morning paths could be icy. Not every year was typical: 2007 ran 3.0°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 13.2°C. Cold snaps happened: the record low for February was −8.8°C, set in 2013.

How long it rained

Typhoons i No tropical storm passed within 300 km in this month over the last 20 years. Typhoons: July to October
