Taiwan's weather is always affected by the maritime monsoon. However TW is positioned at higher latitude, but now still affected by southwest monsoon, i think thats why TW is a bit warmer than HK.
But from the info i got from my friend, its' 17C now( as i typing this reply)

Well, probably due to maritime monsoon as you said really kenot brain it haha.

Anyway, trust that weather website data-lah...pretty accurate wth +- 3C. Now only 24C what where got 17C haha. Infact those weather website reporting abit lower than actual wan..Just like my last week Beijing trip. Website mentioned 2C but my own thermometer that I carried wth me showing 6C nia...and daytime website mentioned 12C my thermometer showing 16C nia.

maybe the thermometer placed at different location XD

hello,

want to ask, how's the weather look like in Taiwan on Feb?

I normally put outside the open window edge wan haha..for eg..this was taken last week and I put my thermometer outside the edge of the window overnite.. Well, not the coldest Morning as I recorded ~ 6C on one Morning last week but temperature on weatherunderground that time reported much colder at 3C.. ..


Similar reading recorded when I was in Seoul last yr. For eg, one cold Morning, I recorded minus -10C but weatherunderground showing minus-15C.. probably they took the wind effect kua haha

i think coz they take the average temperature of the area taking in wind effect, rain, etc. your thermometer only calculating that area surrounding you. and my guess on the difference between hkg and twn is the luas permukaan in average? lol.

Just check the history pg of weather underground or any other weather website can dy. Depending on early, mid or end Feb lor. Early Feb probably still cold ~ 10-12C, Mid Feb ~ 15C & late Feb ~ 18C for eg:


Or check the chart on pg1

I'm not sure about that website bcos I cant read chinese & probably showing area ~ Mountaneous region/ ALishan?

but FYI, that temp I posted earlier by me in Beijing last week...and on arrival the bullet train outside temperature showing 14-15C and I still wearing normal sweater and feeling just like CH nite time nia haha.. So it will not be really cold in Taipei lah. except closer to end of Dec & Jan. when temperature probably similar to Beijing/Seoul end Oct- Early Nov Temperature

Weatherunderground & lotsa wether website kenot be wrong

I didn't said your source could be wrong or what.

I just try to show you, most Taiwanese refer to their Central Weather bureau, for it's high accuracy and prompt update from time to time.

Edit: i never said the the temperature of 17 was at Taipei... what i attempted was to tell you there are places at Taiwan is a lot cooler

now in the year end Taipei is not cooling as expected, i am really starting to worried my trip in June 2012 will be damn freaking hot!

Climate is going nuts d

give away 2pcs national palace musuem ticket(free).

Hi there.Cityinn at Huai Ning street.only few minutes walking distance to Taipei Main Station.

Oh,the hotel is good?

Wondering what time shopping complex/night market in Taiwan close? Since their sunset around 5:30pm, so i m assume its "evening period" around 4pm, closed same time with us 10pm?

Also wondering what time they usually wake up, eg work n so on!?

got expiry date?

think dont have,redeem from taiwan tourist center.

Just take it the sunrise & sunset almost similar to Sabah/Sarawak timing lor haha. BTW, Pen M'sia is probably the only rebelion country wth weird/odd sunrise & sunset hours..all tnx to our Govt (inc Singapore) suka-suka go and change our timing to conform wth Hong Kong & Sabah & Sarawak timing.. Other visitors elsewhere will feel odd when they experience sunset at 7pm haha

night markets close later maybe around 11 or past midnight for weekends. shopping malls i'm not too sure though.
