Geography♔
The are lots of mountains in the North of South Korea, so the place about Gangwon-do is colder and windier than other places. On the other hand, Myeong-dong of Seoul has many tall buildings and narrow streets, so the winds are stronger.
There are two seas ( Yellow Sea and Sea Of Japan) surround Korea, so in summer the sea breeze from these seas will bring lots of rain and humid weather to South Korea.
