There are three general reasons:

  1. North Korea is at a higher latitude than South Korea and higher latitudes have colder weather.
  2. North Korea, by and large, is at a higher altitude than South Korea and higher altitudes have colder weather.
  3. South Korea is entirely surrounded by large seas which help to moderate the climate somewhat. As North Korea has less contact with the same large seas, their moderating effect is far less.
