Jeju in February
Around Ipchun, the traditional first day of spring in early February, the Tamna Ipchun-gut folk festival is held at Jeju Mokgwana, the old government office in the city centre. Seollal, the Lunar New Year, moves between late January and mid February, and flights to the island fill early over the holiday. The north coast wind still bites.
Cold, plain and simple: highs of 10°C, lows of 4°C. Warm cafes and museums earned their keep. Showers came now and then, about 8 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. Counts moved moderately between years: 3 in 2008, 14 in 2024.
2 nights a month dropped below freezing on average. Gloves earned their place for early starts. Not every year was typical: 2007 ran 2.6°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 12.5°C. The coldest night came in 2013, at −2.5°C.
