Jeju in October

October has the fewest rainy days of the year and the highest share of possible sunshine, so it suits oreum (volcanic cone) walks and the Olle trails. From mid-month the silver grass on Saebyeol Oreum and around Sangumburi crater turns silver. Tangerine-picking farms open around now; October fruit is an extra-early variety and still a little green.

Highs averaged 22°C and lows 16°C, an easy range for walking around all day. 6 rain days in a typical October: noticeable, but most days stayed dry. Averages hide a lot here: one year saw 2, another 14.

The warmest year was 2025, with highs averaging 24.1°C, 2.3°C above normal. Rain days averaged 19 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.

How long it rained

On a rainy day it rained for about 6.0 hours. Rain came at any time of day.
