WEATHER & SEASONS

Plan Around Jeju's Weather

Even when Jeju City is sunny, conditions on Hallasan and the south coast can be different. Check the weather separately for where you are staying and where you plan to visit.

Travel planning at a glance

Check the weather separately for where you are staying and the area you plan to visit. Distinguish coastal and city forecasts from Hallasan mountain weather and trail restrictions. For ferries and marine activities, check the operator's departure or activity updates for the day as well as the forecast.

Check official live services for forecasts and weather alerts.

This page does not show live temperatures or the chance of rain. For ferries and flights, check the operator's departure information as well as the weather forecast.

Hallasan and oreum volcanic hills

Check mountain weather, weather alerts and national park trail restrictions together. Do not assume that summit conditions are the same as those in the city.

Ferries and marine activities

Rough seas and local conditions can lead to changes. Check your return ferry from the island and the operator's departure and cancellation notices.

Adjust your plans when the weather changes

First check the forecast for the area you plan to visit, along with the day's weather and access restrictions. If rain or strong winds make outdoor plans difficult, combine nearby indoor visits with time to rest. Check operator updates again for changes to booked activities and your return transport.

Rainy days

Combine indoor visits, such as Jeju National Museum, the Haenyeo Museum or Jeju 4·3 Peace Memorial Hall, with a meal or café in the same area. Check closure days and whether reservations are needed, even for indoor venues.

Windy days

Before visiting oreum summits or coastal cliffs, or taking a boat trip, check guidance from the organization responsible. If you have already set out, make sure you have return transport and follow restrictions on site.

What to prepare for each season

Spring and autumn

Bring a windproof outer layer for walks. For the condition of flowers and silver grass, check recent local updates.

Summer

Check whether beaches are open and which areas allow swimming. Photos of the sea do not show whether swimming is currently permitted.

Winter

Snow, ice and access restrictions can change hiking plans. Check the equipment you need and trail conditions, and prepare an alternative itinerary.
