Gangdong-gu Weather in January

About Gangdong-gu in January

Gangdong-gu sits at Seoul's eastern edge where the Han River bends south, and the surrounding flat alluvial plain lacks the topographic shielding that protects western districts from cold easterly winds in winter. The district's newer high-rise apartment complexes create wind-tunnel effects along major roads, while scattered remaining agricultural plots act as rare urban cool islands.
