Meteo Taichung in novembre

Forum posters cite the Central Weather Bureau's average November temperature for Alishan around 10.3C, with colder days dropping to around 5C and a typical range in the back half of the month between 5-20C - genuinely unpredictable given the mountain elevation. Posters consistently rate November as a good time for Taiwan generally, outside typhoon season with comparatively little rain, though some visitors still reported 3-4 days of rain during a November trip, described as steady rather than heavy downpours. Posters consistently recommend a raincoat over an umbrella for ease of movement, and advise against shorts or skirts given how cool it runs at altitude. Posters generally rate November as a great, if cool, month for hiking and long walks around Alishan.

Forum posters describe July and August in Taiwan as warm and humid, with temperatures commonly in the 33-36C range, and August sitting right in the middle of typhoon season (June through October), with August, July and September the three months most likely to see one make landfall. Posters are consistent that most summer rain actually comes as short, predictable afternoon thunderstorms lasting 30-60 minutes, with mornings typically sunny and clear - a pattern that lets visitors plan outdoor sightseeing for the morning and save indoor activities for the afternoon rain window. Posters note that if a typhoon does hit during a trip, it typically costs travelers one or two disrupted days with transport and parks shut down, though most storms just pass by without a direct hit. Posters generally rate August as hot, humid and genuinely typhoon-season for Taichung, workable with flexible plans and a morning-outdoor, afternoon-indoor rhythm.

Forum posters describe February in southern/central Taiwan as cool and pleasant, generally 15-20C, though cold snaps from the north can push temperatures down toward 10-12C with little warning even as some days climb into the high 20s. Winter counts as the dry season, which posters call a genuine advantage for outdoor sightseeing despite the cooler air. The standard packing list is layers - long pants, a light jacket, and a compact umbrella - with thicker layers reserved for any side trip up to higher-altitude spots like Alishan, and something warm for chilly evenings at the night markets.
