Taiwan’s climate characteristics are:

1. The Tropic of Cancer passes through Chiayi, Hualien and other places in central and southern Taiwan, dividing the north and south of Taiwan into two climate zones. The central and northern parts of Taiwan belong to It has a subtropical monsoon climate, and the southern part has a tropical monsoon climate. The overall climate is characterized by long, humid summers and short, warm winters. The north is affected by the northeast monsoon, causing a rainy season from January to March. The central and southern regions are not significantly affected in winter. Taiwan enters the plum rain season in May.

The summer in Taiwan is from June to September, and the weather is hot. The Taipei metropolitan area is a basin terrain, and heat energy cannot be dissipated quickly. Coupled with the urban heat island effect, the highest temperature in summer can often reach 35°C and above. The average temperature in July can be close to 30℃.

2. Taiwan Island is surrounded by the sea. When the Siberian cold high pressure moves south from September to May every year, the cold air is tempered by the ocean, and the winter temperature is slightly warmer than that of South China. In winter, the temperature on the plains north of Tainan occasionally reaches 4°C. The average January temperature in the central and northern parts is around 12 to 15°C, while the average January temperature in the south can be as high as around 18°C. Mountains above 1,500 meters above sea level, such as Hehuan Mountain, Yushan Mountain, and Snow Mountain, have high terrain.

3. Taiwan has abundant precipitation and a humid climate. The average annual rainfall exceeds 2,500 mm, which is about three times the world’s average rainfall. It varies due to season, location and altitude. There is heavy rainfall in the east and north and it rains all year round. The area with the highest annual rainfall in China, Huo Shaoliao, is in the northeastern part of Taiwan and is known as the "Rain Pole" of China. The Port of Keelung is also known as the "Rain Port" due to its abundant rainfall. ".

4. Taiwan is one of the areas most affected by typhoons in China. June to September is the typhoon season, with an average of three to four typhoons in summer and autumn every year. Typhoons provide abundant moisture, but rainfall is unevenly distributed in space and time, easily causing disasters such as floods and mudslides. Without the rain brought by typhoons in summer, drought is likely to occur in winter.

5. Taiwan’s forest coverage rate reaches 58.5%, and the types are mainly affected by altitude. Below an altitude of 700 meters is a subtropical broad-leaved forest, an altitude of 700-1800 meters is a broad-leaved forest, an altitude of 1800-2500 meters is a mixed forest, an altitude of 2500-3500 meters is a coniferous forest, and the alpine zone above 3500 meters is moss or grassland.
