Kaohsiung weather by month
2006-2025, 20 years of records · Not a forecast Rain not yet station-calibrated
Kaohsiung is in southern Taiwan, so its weather differs from Taipei's. December to March is mostly clear and dry. Most of the year's rain comes with the summer monsoon, so June to August is the wettest stretch, and typhoons are most common from July to October.
It is a sunny city, so when Taipei is soaked in winter, Kaohsiung often has clear days. In summer keep midday outdoor plans short, and in typhoon season book things you can cancel.
December to February scored best when warmth and rain days were weighed together. Rain clustered in June and August (up to 22 rain days) and fell to 6 rain days in December to February.
