Seoul in March A month caught between winter and spring. Afternoons soften, but a late cold snap can send you back to your winter coat. Fine dust tends to be at its worst of the year in March, so keep a KF94 mask in your bag. In early years the cherry trees start blooming in the last days of the month.
Highs of 12°C and lows of 2°C. Even at midday it stayed cool enough to want a jacket. 5 rain days in a typical March: noticeable, but most days stayed dry. Most years sat near the average of 5, though 2006 dipped to 2 and 2010 climbed to 11.
Nights dropped below 0°C on 9 days of the month on average, so early-morning paths could be icy. The warmest year was 2023, with highs averaging 15.2°C, 3.7°C above normal. The lowest night on record was −7.7°C in 2006.
