As winter continues its course in North Korea, February marks a subtle transition towards spring. Compared to January, the coldest month of the year, February sees a slight rise in temperature, although conditions remain considerably cold.

Average temperatures in February begin to climb slowly from the sub-zero conditions of January. In Pyongyang, the country's capital, the average temperature in February ranges from -5°C (23°F) to -3°C (26.6°F). It is still the middle of winter, so sub-zero temperatures are the norm across the country.

In the coastal cities of Nampo and Wonsan, due to the influence of the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan, the temperatures are slightly milder, averaging -3°C (26.6°F). The eastern mountainous regions, in contrast, continue to endure lower temperatures, averaging between -10°C (14°F) and -7°C (19.4°F).

Compared to the frigid extremes of January, February provides a small respite from the intense cold. However, it is still significantly colder than March, the succeeding month, when the temperatures rise noticeably, signaling the onset of spring.

In terms of precipitation, February follows January's trend as one of the drier months of the year. Snowfall remains limited mostly to the northern and mountainous regions. However, as the month progresses, there is a slight increase in precipitation levels compared to January, hinting at the upcoming change of seasons.

The landscape in February is still dominated by wintry scenes, with a pervasive presence of snow and ice, particularly in the higher altitudes. Despite the cold, North Korea's February offers clear, crisp days and stunning frost-covered landscapes.
