Prepare for Korea's Four Distinct Seasons

Camp Humphreys experiences dramatic seasonal changes throughout the year, so adjusting your preparations accordingly will make life more comfortable. **Winter (Dec-Feb):** Expect cold temperatures and be prepared for freezing conditions. Winter 2024-2025 is forecast to have average temperatures similar to typical years, with below-average precipitation. **Spring (Mar-May):** Watch out for Yellow Dust season. This phenomenon originates from desert regions in China and Mongolia, where winds pick up fine sand particles. As these particles travel across the continent, they absorb hazardous materials from high pollution areas, affecting air quality in Korea. Have dust masks on hand and monitor air quality alerts during spring months. **Summer (Jun-Aug):** Korea experiences humid heatwaves and monsoon season with heavy rainfall. Pack light, breathable clothing and be prepared for wet weather. **Fall (Sep-Nov):** Enjoy mild, comfortable temperatures as the weather transitions to cooler months. Pro tip: Stay informed about seasonal weather alerts through official military and local channels. Each season brings unique challenges, but knowing what to expect helps you and your family stay safe and comfortable year-round.
