Local context
What to expect in October
Autumn in Seoul is often underrated: 18°F, golden light and declining crowds. An interesting window. Rain risk remains low (23% of days), leaving good room for outdoor activities. Not the best window, but acceptable if dates are constrained. June (8.1/10) is significantly better if possible.
