===Climate=== Korea has a temperate climate with comparatively fewer [[typhoons]] than other countries in East Asia. Due to the peninsula's position, it has a unique climate influenced by Siberia in the north, the Pacific Ocean in the east and the rest of Eurasia in the west. The peninsula has four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter.<ref>{{cite web |title=Climate of Korea |url=https://web.kma.go.kr/eng/biz/climate_01.jsp |website=Korea Meteorological Administration |publisher=South Korean Government |access-date=3 July 2018 |archive-date=10 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180710162728/http://web.kma.go.kr/eng/biz/climate_01.jsp |url-status=live }}</ref> ====Spring==== As influence from Siberia weakens, temperatures begin to increase while the high pressure begins to move away. If the weather is abnormally dry, Siberia will have more influence on the peninsula leading to wintry weather such as snow.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EHoMAQAAIAAJ&q=climate+korea|title=Climate of Korea: Climatic Data|last1=McCune|first1=Shannon|year=1941|access-date=21 September 2020|archive-date=9 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210509180224/https://books.google.com/books?id=EHoMAQAAIAAJ&q=climate+korea|url-status=live}}</ref> ====Summer==== During June at the start of the summer, there tends to be a lot of rain due to the cold and wet air from the [[Sea of Okhotsk]] and the hot and humid air from the Pacific Ocean combining. When these fronts combine, it leads to a so-called rainy season with often cloudy days with rain, which is sometimes very heavy. The hot and humid winds from the south west blow causing an increasing amount of humidity and this leads to the fronts moving towards [[Manchuria]] in China and thus there is less rain and this is known as midsummer; temperatures can exceed {{convert|30|Β°C|Β°F}} daily at this time of year. ====Autumn==== Usually, high pressure is heavily dominant during autumn leading to clear conditions. Furthermore, temperatures remain high but the humidity becomes relatively low. ====Winter==== The weather becomes increasingly dominated by Siberia during winter and the jet stream moves further south causing a drop in temperature. This season is relatively dry with some snow falling at times.
