Why is there always a typhoon in Jeju Island, South Korea?
South Korea's coastal areas are foggy, with an average annual foggy day of about 70- 120 days, and foggy weather is often concentrated in summer.
The annual average precipitation is 1 190mm, which is lower than that of Japan 1700mm and 750mm higher than the world average. Precipitation in all parts of the country is basically concentrated in summer, mainly thunderstorms and heavy rains, accompanied by typhoons. Summer precipitation accounts for 60% of the annual precipitation, and July precipitation accounts for half of this 60%. The rainy season is from late June to late July. In September, there will be a short period of early autumn plum rain.
Meiyu in late July ends and Meiyu in early September and early autumn begins. Typhoon loves to blow, and it is often accompanied by heavy rain. Abnormal typhoons, that is, hurricanes, occur every two years in the south and every four years in the middle.
It is often dry in winter, and I don't like snow. The winter precipitation only accounts for 10% of the annual precipitation. The largest snowfall is in Ulleungdo, and the largest snowfall has reached 293.5 cm. There is drought in spring and autumn, so there is often drought.
Because rain is concentrated in summer, floods often occur at this stage. Take Pazhou in 1999 as an example. From July 3 1 to August 2, the rainfall in three days reached 1000 mm, and the maximum rainfall in one hour reached 56 mm
For the above reasons, if you travel to South Korea in summer, you should pay attention to rain protection.
