🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER FORECAST & NUANCES: Expect pleasant spring warmth with daytime temperatures between +23°C and +28°C . Evenings are refreshing (+15°C), perfect for riverside walks, but require a light layer like a denim jacket or hoodie. Safety Tip: May is "Yellow Dust" season. Keep a KF94 mask handy if the air quality index (AQI) rises. Packing: Comfortable walking shoes are non-negotiable, and a small umbrella is a must for sudden May showers. Golden Hour: Aim for 18:30–19:30 for the best photography light at N Seoul Tower and Lotte World Tower.
