Hello, is September typhoon period in Taipei or Taichung? is the weather cooling? Thanks
Hi Wang, there would still be some typhoons in September. But the affect by them is very small then. Traveling to these places is no problem. The weather is good, with average temperature of 22°C-28°C. Summer clothes would do. Whitney Liao Replied on 2013-01-04

Will be visiting Taipei and Taichung btw 3-8 Nov. Can u advise the best form of attires and also the weather now?

Hi Fenny,

Weather: The weather is cool, with average low and high temperatures of 18 °C (64 °F) and 26 °C (80 °F). It is one of the best times of the year to visit Taiwan, with mostly sunny and pleasant weather and little rain.

Clothing: During the day it is warm, and a T-shirt or a long-sleeve shirt is suitable. For early morning and evening a coat is needed, sometimes also a sweater. If you plan to visit mountainous areas, a coat and a sweater are necessary.
