Daejeon, as a pivotal hub in South Korea, experiences four distinct seasons, each offering its own unique charm. However, the spring months of April to June are widely considered the most idyllic period for a visit. During this season, visitors can enjoy mild temperatures, with averages ranging from 10°C to 25°C. This is the perfect weather for outdoor activities and city exploration. Spring also brings vibrant splashes of color as cherry blossoms and various other flowers bloom, particularly around expo park and Hanbat Arboretum. This is also the time for the Daejeon Science Festival, which typically occurs in late April or early May, making it an excellent occasion for travelers interested in science and technology.
For those who can withstand a bit of heat and humidity, late summer to early autumn, especially from September to early October, is another favorable time to visit Daejeon. During this period, the hot summer weather begins to cool down, certain local festivities take place, and the lush greenery starts to transition into the rich hues of fall. The temperatures are comfortable, generally ranging from 15°C to 22°C, which is conducive for sightseeing and enjoying the great outdoors. It is also a time for harvesting, and local markets are abundant with fresh produce. However, visitors should be aware that the region may experience some rainy days due to the tail end of the monsoon season in September, so carrying an umbrella is advisable.
