The winter is generally much drier than summer, with snow falling for 37 days on average.

The transition from the cold, dry winter to the warm, wet summer occurs rather quickly between April and early May, and there is a similarly abrupt return to winter conditions in late October and November. Summers are generally hot and humid, with the [[East Asian monsoon]] taking place from June until September; these are also the hottest months, with average temperatures of {{cvt|21|to|25|°C}}, and daytime highs often above {{cvt|30|°C}}. Although largely transitional seasons, spring and autumn experience more pleasant weather, with average high temperatures ranging from {{cvt|20 to 26|°C}} in May and {{cvt|22 to 27|°C}} in September,<ref>{{cite web |title=Average Weather in May in Pyongyang, North Korea - Weather Spark |url=https://weatherspark.com/m/141759/5/Average-Weather-in-May-in-Pyongyang-North-Korea |access-date=2020-08-23 |website=weatherspark.com |archive-date=24 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201024083206/https://weatherspark.com/m/141759/5/Average-Weather-in-May-in-Pyongyang-North-Korea |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Average Weather in September in Pyongyang, North Korea - Weather Spark |url=https://weatherspark.com/m/141759/9/Average-Weather-in-September-in-Pyongyang-North-Korea |access-date=2020-08-23 |website=weatherspark.com |archive-date=24 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201024164909/https://weatherspark.com/m/141759/9/Average-Weather-in-September-in-Pyongyang-North-Korea |url-status=live }}</ref> coupled with relatively clear, sunny skies.<ref>{{cite web |title=Average Weather in Pyongyang, North Korea, Year Round - Weather Spark |url=https://weatherspark.com/y/141759/Average-Weather-in-Pyongyang-North-Korea-Year-Round#Sections-Clouds |access-date=2020-08-23 |website=weatherspark.com |archive-date=26 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201026025723/https://weatherspark.com/y/141759/Average-Weather-in-Pyongyang-North-Korea-Year-Round#Sections-Clouds |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Average Weather in Pyongyang, North Korea, Year Round - Weather Spark |url=https://weatherspark.com/y/141759/Average-Weather-in-Pyongyang-North-Korea-Year-Round#Sections-Precipitation |access-date=2020-08-23 |website=weatherspark.com |archive-date=26 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201026025723/https://weatherspark.com/y/141759/Average-Weather-in-Pyongyang-North-Korea-Year-Round#Sections-Precipitation |url-status=live }}</ref>
