July is shoulder season: good weather, a step below the best months (October and December – March).
- Inside the wettest three-month stretch, June – August.
- Comfort improves from 44/100 in June to 59/100.
- Our Taipei, Jiufen & Taroko route recommends Oct – Dec, Mar – May, so July falls outside its suggested window.
