Jeju in September

Typhoon risk is not over yet. The beaches usually close at the end of August, though in some years they stay open into early September. Chuseok, the Korean harvest holiday, follows the lunar calendar and falls in September or early October, and flights between Seoul and Jeju sell out around it. Midday heat eases toward the end of the month.

Highs of 27°C and lows of 21°C: short sleeves by day, with warm nights. Rain fell on 10 days of the month on average. The average is 10, but individual years ran from 4 (2011) to 16 (2019).

Highs passed 30°C on 2 days on average. Not every year was typical: 2024 ran 3.2°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 29.7°C. Rain days averaged 29 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.
