Each season in Korea has its own unique charm. Geographically, Korea is located in the mid-latitude temperate climate zone and has four distinct seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. In winter, it is cold and dry due to the influence of the cold and dry continental high pressure, and in summer, it is hot and humid due to the influence of the North Pacific high pressure, and in spring and fall, there are many clear and dry days due to the influence of the mobile high pressure.

In spring, the cherry blossoms and flowers that decorate the streets symbolize beauty. In addition, climate change has recently begun to increase due to global warming, and eventually, as we enter the 2020s, the impact of climate change due to global warming has become more severe, and the four seasons have begun to be questioned and reevaluated. The reason is that people in European and Middle Eastern countries, which originally did not have significant seasonal changes, began to suffer from extreme heat waves due to climate change. In particular, in the western United States, the number of deaths increased significantly due to extremely high temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius in the summer of 2021, and even severe damage was caused to the point where forest fires caused by the heat wave could not be controlled due to the lack of water in firefighting facilities.
On the other hand, in Europe, winters are not as cold as in the continent due to the characteristics of the topography and climate. Therefore, in Korea, even slightly chilly weather is regarded as a cold wave and cold weather measures are relatively lacking. In high-latitude areas such as Canada and Northern Europe, where hot weather cannot be expected, there are many cases where there is no air conditioning, regardless of industrial facilities or houses, and the sudden heat wave not only caused casualties but also paralyzed various industries. The opposite is also true.
However, countries like Korea, which have four distinct seasons, are well prepared for any weather, with air conditioning and heating facilities everywhere, so there is less damage from sudden abnormal weather. Accordingly, a reevaluation was conducted as it became known that areas with clear seasonal changes were relatively less affected by climate change.
