What to expect

Daytime

Days in Seoul in February are about getting between indoor places. The cold is the story. Gloves are not a fashion choice.

A clear spell is for a short walk, then back in. Do not plan a long outdoor day as the default. Night falls early and the cold deepens with it.

Rain

Mixed skies in Seoul in February. Dry days and wet days share the month. Outdoor plans need a backup, not a cancellation policy.

Pack a shell you will actually carry. The monthly table is the place for totals. This is the feel: usable, interrupted.

Evening

Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.

What to pack
