Korea in February | Seoul weather
It’s still pretty cold in Seoul in February. Average temperatures range from -4°C. 26°F to 5°C | 41°F. Daily maximum temperature rises by 5°C | 8°F from January, reaching up to 7°C | February is 45°F, so there will definitely be warmer days at the end of the month.

But don’t be fooled. Although it is still winter, there are days when the temperature drops to -11°C | 13°F. Average wind speed is 15km per hour | Nine miles per hour is pretty consistent throughout the month, so it can get a lot colder.
There is a mix of snow and rain in Seoul in February, so prepare umbrellas, snow boots, and waterproof gear. In my experience, there is always a big snowfall at the end of the month. It’s almost like the last gasp of winter before milder temperatures take over. Korea welcomes spring.
It was unusually cold and snowy in Seoul this winter.
* Personal note: This winter is one of the coldest and snowiest winters I have ever experienced in Seoul. Heavy snowfall and low temperature -25°C | -13°F with wind chill. It’s so cold that the snow doesn’t melt as immediately as it usually does. If you’re visiting Korea in February 2023, bring some real winter gear.
