Foreigners >Weather In Taiwan

Summer
Summer weather in Taiwan does relent in late September and into October, when evenings start getting a little chilly.

Fall
Things surely cool down by mid-October and November, with the arrival of shorter days. In fact, Taiwan has its own Autumn Festival, a lunar holiday that loosely echoes the harvest rites of many Western countries.
Perhaps a final indication of Taiwan’s weather is indicated by the popularity of air-conditioning and or complete absence of centralized heating. While most modern offices are generous with the so-called, "climate control," even small apartments are usually furnished with a portable air conditioner.

Winter
Winter resembles the cold months of southern Texas. It is definitely chilly, but gets down right cold with the damp feeling and chilly drafts. Even though it lacks the lower temperatures necessary for snow, Taiwan has constant, freezing drizzle that is just as bone chilling as any wind-blown snowdrift. This is especially true if you commute by motorcycle.

Typhoons 
Stiffen (the English word, derived from Chinese) meaning, great wind is also known as the typhoon season is generally from the months of August through October. Are violent storms that occur no less than half a dozen times during the typhoon season, but these sporadic storms cannot compare to the South Pacific’s fiercest natural phenomenon, typhoons. These storms sweep through the island at wind speeds up to 99 miles per hour. The aftermath of major typhoons can be devastating including flood low-lying cities, capsizing ships, trigger landslides, and blow down buildings, trees and signs..

The transition from spring into summer spells an end to long bouts of drizzle, and invites tremendous downpours, usually during the evening time.
