Cheongju-si climate zone

The climate of Cheongju-si

Dwa Hot-summer continental with dry winter. Hot, wet summers and cold, dry winters. A monsoon-influenced continental climate. Winters are cold and dry, and the summer is hot and brings most of the year's rain.

Cheongju-si is north of the equator, so summer falls in June to August and winter in December to February. The 1901 to 1930 map put Cheongju-si in Dfa (hot-summer humid continental), so its zone is different from a century ago.

Cheongju-si: then, now and by 2100

The 2071 to 2099 rows are model projections under three emissions scenarios, not forecasts. The 1901 to 1930 row is a reconstruction. All come from Beck et al. (2023).

Under the middle-of-the-road scenario (SSP2-4.5), the model puts Cheongju-si in Cwa (humid subtropical with dry winter) in 2071 to 2099, instead of Dwa now. Under the high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5) it is Cwa (humid subtropical with dry winter).
