Seoul in February Lunar New Year falls somewhere between late January and mid February. Many residents leave the city for the holiday, so central Seoul is quiet, and many neighborhood restaurants and shops close around the day itself. Palaces and museums usually stay open and are less crowded. The outdoor ice rink at Seoul Plaza usually closes in early February.
Daytime in Seoul hovered around 5°C in February, cold enough to need a heavy coat. Out of 28 days, an average of 3 saw rain. In 2012, February had no rain day at all; in 2024 it had 9.
23 nights a month dropped below freezing on average. Gloves earned their place for early starts. February 2007 averaged 8.7°C by day, 3.5°C above the 20-year mean. Cold snaps happened: the record low for February was −20.1°C, set in 2013.
