Special Notes:

1. From July to October, there are many typhoons in Taiwan. Typhoons often form at the southern tip of Taiwan (near Luzon Island in the Philippines) and move upward. Although not all typhoons may hit the main island of Taiwan, you should pay close attention to the dynamics of typhoons during this period, and be sure to pay attention to weather news if you have to go out.

2. In addition, if you study in northern Taiwan (especially Taipei... I have personal experience), the good weather may not last long, so it is best to carry a small foldable bag with you for easy storage. Bring an umbrella in case of a sudden heavy rain, especially if you study in Keelung, it rains about 2/3 of the year; if you study in southern Taiwan, in principle, except for the occasional afternoon thunderstorm, most days will be sunny. When the weather is cloudy or even sunny, special attention should be paid to sun protection.
