But don't the coldest days come without snow? What's the old saying? 'It's too cold to snow'. |

Well at least this time I will be eased into it, the last time I came smack bang in the middle of July and you're right...the humidity was awful...but hey it makes me appreciate our lovely climate even more:) |

See the thing with weather forecasts are exactly that....they're forecasts and may not be a true reflection
For example according to that weather link, it's supposed to be 22 degrees celcius in Cape Town today but actually it's about 27 degrees. So totally untrue reflection. |

It was overcast today and I'd guess about 15c. I consider it rather warm and a little humid. T-shirt is just fine for me.
Last year rainy season lasted over a month. Prepare yourself for that crap. I hated rainy season. July was constantly, torrentially rainy and Seoul saw severe floods.
Regarding the winter and whether it's mild or not, my country is not as cold as Korean winter, but I still regard it as mild. In the two winters I've been in Korea, I could count the unbearably cold days on one hand. |

Wrong on both counts.
1. The snow on 18 December up near Munsan, did not melt until Xmas day, a week later. There were still some patches of snow at Ilsan Lake Park on 26 December.
2. The local creek & the schools ornamental rockpool were both frozen solid for 2-3 months. Meaning it never went above zero. Usually it was -3c maximum. And Seoul is a several degrees warmer than Paju. |
