In 2020, the average temperature in South Korea was 13.2°C, which was 0.7°C higher than the average year. It was the warmest winter ever, and the central region experienced the longest rainy season of 54 days during the summer. Abnormal weather conditions have been reported all around the world due to rapid climate change, even as daily life continues amidst the spread of COVID-19. It is predicted that a rise of 1.5°C or more in the average global temperature would pose a fatal risk to human life.
