Kaohsiung in June
Not the best time
June brings the heat and starts typhoon season. Rock-bottom prices but prepare for sweltering conditions and potential weather disruptions.
Weather
June kicks off typhoon season with intense heat, high humidity, and unpredictable weather patterns. Temperatures soar above 30°C most days, and afternoon thunderstorms become the norm. The humidity makes it feel even hotter.

All Months
October through March gives you the best weather — warm days around 25°C, cool evenings, and almost no rain. This is peak season, so book accommodations early. April and May are pleasant but can get sticky. June through September is brutal. We're talking 35°C heat with 80% humidity that makes walking outside feel like a punishment. But summer also brings typhoon season, mango season, and the best swimming weather at Cijin Beach. The Dragon Boat Festival in June turns the Love River into a party zone. Chinese New Year in February shuts down many restaurants but lights up the temples like nowhere else in Taiwan.
