🇭🇺 Budapest vs 🇰🇷 Seoul

Budapest's climate is defined by its dramatic division along the Danube: the hilly Buda side to the west and the flat Pest plain to the east create fundamentally different microclimates within a single city. The Buda Hills act as a barrier to westerly winds and generate cooler, more humid conditions on their slopes, while the open Pest side is fully exposed to continental temperature extremes. The Danube itself moderates temperatures along its banks and generates fog in autumn and winter, while thermal springs beneath the city create localized warmth pockets.

Humid continental — hot humid summers, cold dry winters, beautiful spring and fall

Seoul has four distinct seasons. Cherry blossoms in April and autumn foliage in October rival Tokyo's. Summers bring the monsoon (jangma) and intense heat; winters are dry and bitterly cold with clear blue skies.
