Taipei in July
Not the best time
July punishes visitors with brutal heat and humidity that makes outdoor exploration nearly unbearable. Only visit if you can handle extreme weather and plan to spend most time indoors.
Weather
July brings Taipei's most intense weather with scorching temperatures and oppressive humidity that makes 32°C feel like 40°C. Afternoon thunderstorms provide brief relief but add to the muggy conditions. The combination of heat and frequent rain creates a sauna-like atmosphere.

All Months
October through April gives you Taipei's sweet spot — comfortable temperatures, less humidity, and minimal rain. December and January can get surprisingly chilly (think 50-60°F), but that's perfect weather for hot pot and night market wandering.
Avoid July and August unless you love feeling like you're inside a steam room. Temperatures hit 95°F with 80% humidity, and afternoon thunderstorms are basically guaranteed. Plus, it's typhoon season.
May and June sit on the edge — still pleasant, but humidity starts climbing. September can work if you don't mind some heat and the occasional tropical storm.
Chinese New Year (late January/early February) brings amazing food and decorations, but many restaurants close for 3-4 days. Book accommodations early — prices double and availability vanishes.
The plum blossom season in February turns Yangmingshan National Park into something magical. Cherry blossoms follow in March, though crowds can be intense on weekends.
