🌦️ Late August in Seoul

🌡️ ~29°C days / ~22°C nights 💧 ~65–80% humidity ☔ ~40% daily rain chance

Tail end of monsoon season — hot, sticky, with sudden downpours more likely than steady rain. Pack light breathable layers, a compact umbrella, and sunscreen; lean on air-conditioned stops (malls, cafes) around midday and save outdoor market/palace time for morning or early evening. Worth rechecking the forecast a few days before you fly, since a typhoon track can shift late.

The 8-day line

Each stop is grouped by neighborhood — treat it as a menu, not a mandate.
