The average temperature in South Korea in 2024 was 14.9 degrees Celsius. The average temperature in South Korea has risen steadily over the years, which is shown in the graph. Extreme weather South Korea has a distinct four-season climate. In general, summer in South Korea is humid and hot, and winter is dry and cold. However, the summer climate which usually lasts from June to August is getting longer and can last from May through to September. Especially in summer, extreme weather such as tropical nights, typhoons, and heatwaves occur. Recently, there was an increase in the consecutive days in which heatwaves reached temperatures above 33 degrees. Greenhouse gas emissions South Korea is suffering from air pollution problems such as yellow dust and fine dust that have increased rapidly throughout recent years. In addition, as the carbon dioxide concentration has continued to rise, the average annual temperature has also risen steadily, resulting in abnormal climates, such as heatwaves in summer or extreme cold in winter. South Korea is one of the countries producing a lot of greenhouse gases. Due to the manufacturing-oriented industrial structure, greenhouse gas emissions from energy use accounts for a large portion.
In May 2025, the average temperature in Gwangju, South Korea was 18.2 degrees Celsius. August 2024 was the city's hottest month in the past six years, while December 2022 and February 2025 were the coldest, with an average temperature of 1.1 degrees Celsius.

Korea Droughts, Floods, Extreme Temperatures: Average 1990-2009: % of Population data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Korea – Table KR.World Bank: Land Use, Protected Areas and National Wealth. Droughts, floods and extreme temperatures is the annual average percentage of the population that is affected by natural disasters classified as either droughts, floods, or extreme temperature events. A drought is an extended period of time characterized by a deficiency in a region's water supply that is the result of constantly below average precipitation. A drought can lead to losses to agriculture, affect inland navigation and hydropower plants, and cause a lack of drinking water and famine. A flood is a significant rise of water level in a stream, lake, reservoir or coastal region. Extreme temperature events are either cold waves or heat waves. A cold wave can be both a prolonged period of excessively cold weather and the sudden invasion of very cold air over a large area. Along with frost it can cause damage to agriculture, infrastructure, and property. A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessively hot and sometimes also humid weather relative to normal climate patterns of a certain region. Population affected is the number of people injured, left homeless or requiring immediate assistance during a period of emergency resulting from a natural disaster; it can also include displaced or evacuated people. Average percentage of population affected is calculated by dividing the sum of total affected for the period stated by the sum of the annual population figures for the period stated.; ; EM-DAT: The OFDA/CRED International Disaster Database: www.emdat.be, Université Catholique de Louvain, Brussels (Belgium), World Bank.; ;
