When to go, and when not to
The strongest months for weather in Daegu are April, May, June, and October. April brings highs around 20.9C and lows near 8.9C with modest rainfall of 68mm, October offers similar warmth with highs of 21.3C and lower rainfall of 73mm, and both months get solid sunshine of around 9.0 and 7.1 hours a day respectively. May adds more warmth, with highs of 24.7C, but also more rain at 119mm.
The wider peak season stretches from April through August plus October, and it comes with real trade-offs. June, July, and August are the hottest and wettest stretch, with July reaching highs of 31.8C alongside 260mm of rain and August close behind at 33.6C with 161mm, so travelers choosing the peak months outside April, May, and October should expect heat, humidity, and heavier rainfall in exchange for the longer daylight and sunshine hours those months also bring.
