WEATHER IN Taiwan

The best time to visit Taiwan is during the autumn months, from September to November. This season offers pleasant weather, fewer tourists, and stunning landscapes adorned with vibrant foliage, particularly in mountainous regions.

  • Taiwan's weather varies across its regions due to its diverse landscape. In the north, including Taipei, the climate is subtropical, with hot and humid summers, and mild winters. The northeast experiences more rainfall, while the northwest is drier. Central Taiwan, home to Taichung and Sun Moon Lake, has a similar climate but with slightly cooler temperatures. The east coast is characterized by dramatic mountains and rugged coastline, experiencing more rainfall and typhoons, especially during the summer months. The south, including Kaohsiung and Tainan, boasts a tropical climate with high temperatures year-round.
  • The best time to visit Taiwan depends on your preferences and activities. Generally, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are ideal, with pleasant temperatures and lower rainfall. Spring brings cherry blossoms in full bloom, while autumn offers stunning foliage. Summer (June to August) can be hot and humid, with occasional typhoons, but it's perfect for beachgoers and outdoor enthusiasts. Winter (December to February) brings cooler temperatures, particularly in the north, making it suitable for exploring cultural attractions and enjoying hot springs.
  • Ultimately, the best time to go to Taiwan depends on your interests and tolerance for weather conditions. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, or simply want to indulge in Taiwanese cuisine, there's something for everyone year-round.
