Yeosu in August
Better avoided: August is outside the recommended season (April – June, September – November). Against it: Typhoon Season.
The season opens in September, next month. Jangma: the Summer Monsoon usually starts in July, 11 months away. Typhoon Season: usually over after September.

The weather in August
What the season does to Yeosu this month.
Worth knowing
Typhoon Season
⚠️ Typhoons reach Korea mostly in August and September, and Jeju and the south coast take the brunt: flights and ferries are cancelled for a day or two, beaches close and coastal walks are shut. Watch the forecast in the week before, book refundable flights to and from Jeju, and keep a spare day before your flight home.

Entry rules
Visa needed before you fly for up to 90 days, about ₹4,500
- Apply for a C-3-9 short-term tourist visa at the Korea Visa Application Centre (run by VFS Global) for your state, about a month before you fly: ₹3,400 visa fee plus ₹1,100 service charge. Allow about 10 working days; express processing is not offered at the Delhi and Kolkata centres.
- Before you land, fill in the free e-Arrival Card online (or the paper card handed out on the plane). Use only the official Korean government site.
- At immigration in Incheon or Busan, show your passport with the visa; your fingerprints and photo are taken. You can stay up to 90 days on a single-entry tourist visa.
Carry: Passport valid for at least 6 months, with blank pages; Visa application form and a recent 35 x 45 mm photo on a white background; Bank statements for the last 6 months and income-tax returns (ITR); Letter from your employer granting leave, or proof of your business or studies; Confirmed return flight, hotel bookings and a day-by-day itinerary.
Most Indian tourists need a visa before they fly: there is no e-visa or visa on arrival for a regular tourist trip, and the K-ETA is not for Indian passports. Tour groups booked through designated agencies have the visa fee waived until 31 December 2026. Jeju Island has its own visa-free rule for direct international arrivals, which one source says covers Indians; confirm with the Korean Embassy before relying on it.
Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
