Today is the first day of October and it’s a lot cooler now in the morning and at night. Within this month, we should expect the leaves to change to different shades of yellow, orange, red, purple and brown. Fall happens every year and the colors of the leaves change with the season yet we don’t get tired of it.
Like the previous years, we hope to travel somewhere. I hope to post some places to catch the colors of fall. When is the best time to chase autumn leaves? Here’s the prediction from the KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration).
The same information is not available on the English site of KMA. The map above is only on their Korean site. Below is a table of the expected first splash of fall color and the peak dates. I typed in the Romanized names of the mountains.
Are you ready for Korea’s fall foliage 2014?
Nagstart na po bang magchange ang color ng leaves sa seoul? we’ll be ther on Oct 10-15, may makikita po ba kaming autumn leaves? kahit yellow man lang? š
Punta ka ng Nami Island kasi mas mauuna dun.
I’ll visit Seoul on 22 -27 Oct. Is it still a good time to see changing color leaves? I’m so afraid that they will fall out before I go.
Perfect time… the leaves are just starting to change colors in Seoul. In fact, a lot are still green and even the maple trees are just starting to change.
Would November 14-17, 2014 too late for the autumn foliage as per your experience? Thanks!
By the way, I find your blog entry re: visa informative. š
Same question with the above. is first to second week of november too late for fall foliage po? Thanks!
First week is fine, not sure about the second week… but where I live, the trees have not changed colors yet! Like they are still green ~
Hi. I plan to visit seoul mid october (oct 17-20). Are those dates good choice to see the fall foliage? i want to see maple, and gingko trees to change colors. Thank you po.
or better to move the dates to oct 24-27? thank you.
Anytime after the 2nd week of October is okay. The autumn foliage come earlier in Gangwondo and a little later in Seoul.
hi sa oct 16-19 kaya maganda n color ng mga puno s seoul at nami?
You could try Nami kasi mas nauuna mag-fall foliage dun at saka palaces sa Seoul
Can we still catch autumn foliage around November 19-25?
Hi Kristine! You might ~ at the southern areas of Korea. By that time in Seoul, leaves would have fallen already.
