Weather

Spring, from April to June, is a beautiful season, with generally mild temperatures and cherry blossoms spreading north across the country. While not the driest months, June to September provide respite from North Korea's icy winters with average high temperatures between 23 and 29°C (74-84°F). Winter, from December to March, is dry but often bitterly cold, particularly in northern parts. Siberian winds drag January temperatures in most of the country to below zero.
