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.
