Taiwan Weather
Tropical bliss! Most of Taiwan has beautiful warm climate year round. You can leave your winter coat behind when you go to Taiwan to teach but it is advised to bring an umbrella.
The weather here is amazing (for those of you who like subtropical heat and humidity). Because Taiwan is a relatively small island, the ocean breezes have an cooling effect on much of the country so it never really feels TOO hot. It should also be noted that because this is a tropical country, it is subject to more rain than in most other areas but for those of you who live in areas like Seattle or Vancouver, showers are shortlived and blue skies prevail on most days.
The annual average temperature is a comfortable 22 degrees Celsius with lowest temperatures ranging from 12 to 17 degrees Celsius (54-63 Fahrenheit).
The average amount of rainfall is about 2,500 mm per year, most of which comes in the form of a typhoon. At least three to four typhoons hit Taiwan every year, providing much of the Island's water supply, but also causing damage, flooding, and landslides. When the typhoons come through schools will close and there is genuine fear around the country as really strong winds and very heavy rain can have devastating effects.
Please note, there are areas in Taiwan that do get cold. These are the high alpine areas like in Alishan. Most of taiwan fits into the average temperatures listed previously.
