2. Summer (Jun - Aug)
Summer is hot and humid. Especially it is rainy season from late Jun to
mid Jul. Due to the climate change and El Nino, there is short rainy season

Winter is very cold as if we
were in Siberia. Even though we expect to fall snow in Seoul, it is seldom (around 4 times in a year). But
there are lots of ski resorts in eastern area of Korea. Actually we Koreans
have traditional events before winter, Namely, we would make Kimchi (fermented vegetables)
from late Nov to early Dec in order to eat in Winter. Nowadays most Korean
families have separate refrigerators different from general refrigerators only
for Kimchi.
