Seasonal tips: fine dust, monsoon, cold
Korea's seasons are strong – be ready.
- Spring: check the fine-dust (미세먼지) level in Naver Weather or AirKorea and wear a KF94 mask on bad days.
- Summer: the monsoon (장마) brings heavy rain – watch for emergency alerts on your phone.
- Winter: heating (ondol) bills rise fast; set a steady low temperature instead of on/off.
- Air quality: airkorea.or.kr.
