4/30 Spring Weather

Talk about spring weather in Korea.

Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons in Korea. The weather is mild and the temperatures are just right for outdoors activities. There are many days when we get perfect picnic weather. Among them, May is the best. People even call May the "Queen of Spring" as the climate is so ideal. Many people go on outings to enjoy the warm breeze and sunshine. Cherry blossoms bloom in the spring season as well. They create a magnificent view. The only problem with spring is the yellow sand storms that blow in from China. The contaminated particles in the air are very bad for our health. People wear masks when there are yellow sand storm warnings.
