November in Busan was surprisingly mild. Sunshine almost every day and almost no rain - definitely a windfall. Then pack a sweater for cooler evenings.
Bram JoorenThe sun showed only sporadically.
HugoFebruary was relatively mild in Busan, with temperatures around 10 degrees. However, most days were marked by gray skies and occasional rain, which made my outdoor activities somewhat difficult.
MaartenJune in Busan had both sunny and rainy days, but the temperature was lovely. Daytime temperatures were around 26°C, with slightly cooler evenings. However, the weather was unpredictable and sometimes caused unexpected rain showers.
YaraUnfortunately it rained heavily, but between showers it was clear and fresh. Beautiful winter scenery, but less suitable for outdoor activities.
TiesApril in Busan was generally pleasant, with temperatures around 16°C. Sunny days were ideal for outdoor activities and rainy moments also had their charm. Cool and refreshing, but do bring an umbrella!
CarinaThe drizzle filled the city with a bit of melancholy. On the other hand, the mysterious foggy appearance created something unique. A little more sunshine, however, would be nice.
