Taiwan Weather in January

Ali Mountain Snow SceneryAli Mountain Snow Scenery

Weather: January is the coldest month of the year in Taiwan, but given its geographical location it is never too cold. Average low and high temperatures are 13 °C (55 °F) and 16 °C (61 °F). January is the month to see plum blossoms.

Bring an umbrella as it rains sometimes. In the south it is usually sunny and warm, while in the north it is often cloudy and windy.

Clothing: In the early morning and evening you may need a light sweater and a jacket, but during the day when it is warmer, a long-sleeve shirt will do. Wearing layers is most convenient.

Mountainous areas are quite cold and you may need a down jacket.
