When to go Taiwan ?
With the exception of Taiwan's southern tip, the "Eternal Spring Region", which lies not far from the Tropic of Cancer, the archipelago's climate is subtropical. It's warm and sunny, even if the north of the island cools off during the winter months, and summer (April to June) proves scorching hot. However, it is not advisable to visit during the typhoon season (July to September). The high season therefore runs from October to March, culminating in Chinese New Year.
Straddling the Tropic of Cancer, Taiwan's weather is related to its subtropical climate in the north and tropical in the south. The average annual rainfall is 2,500 mm. Summers are very hot and winters are mild (even hot in the south). At altitudes above 2,500 m, snowfall is rare in winter. The average temperature in Taiwan, at least in Taipei, is around 23°C.
