However, when you travel Taiwan, this subtropical island lying between the world's greatest continent, Eurasia, and the greatest ocean, the Pacific, you might want to know what to expect this or that time of the year.

July, the warmest month of the year, sees temperatures rise up to 27°C and it is usually a bit warmer in the North. In winter, however,the coldest temperature for the north is about 14,5°C in February which is some 4 grades colder than the South with its 19°C, and some of the highest mountain peaks even get covered with snow.
