The climate of Seoul features a humid continental/subtropical climate with dry winter, called "Dwa"/"Cwa", see (Köppen climate classification). Seoul is classed as having a temperate climate with four distinct seasons, but temperature differences between the hottest part of summer and the depths of winter are extreme. In summer the influence of the North Pacific high-pressure system brings hot, humid weather with temperatures soaring as high as 35 °C (95 °F) on occasion. In winter the city is topographically influenced by expanding Siberian High-pressure zones and prevailing west winds, temperatures dropping as low as -20 °C (-4 °F). The bitterly cold days tend to come in three-day cycles regulated by rising and falling pressure systems, during winter snowfall can cause frosty weather in the city. The most pleasant seasons, for most people in the city are spring and autumn, when azure blue skies and comfortable temperatures are a sure bet. Most of Seoul's precipitation falls in the summer monsoon period between June and September, as a part of East Asian monsoon season.〔(Seoul Weather Forecast, Climate, When to Go: Weather in Seoul Area, South Korea )〕 ==Factors== Seoul has a wet and very humid climate during the summer season, with cold and dry weather during the winter season. Spring (although windy) and autumn are pleasant but are short in duration. These seasons are considered the best time to visit Seoul.〔(Korea: General Information about Seoul )〕 *Siberian winds bring frosty weather with sporadic snowfall in the city, which takes the average temperature down to 0 to -10 degrees Celsius.〔〔(Fray Adventures: Siberian Winds Ahhh! )〕 *Yellow Dust is a seasonal meteorological phenomenon which affects much of East Asia including South Korea sporadically during the springtime months. The dust storms also affect wildlife particularly hard, destroying crops, habitat, and toxic metals interfering with reproduction.〔(DPRK Climate )〕 *East Asian monsoon brings heavy precipitation during a short rainy season called ''jangma'', from the end of June through the end of July. *Typhoon season occurs from July through September. About once each year, a typhoon passes very close to or moves over Korea, causing heavy showers.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Climate of Seoul」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
