Taipei in August Typhoon season is in full swing. When one approaches, local governments announce closures of work and school and flights can be cancelled. In the same storm Taipei sometimes runs as usual while southern cities close. Ghost Month is the seventh lunar month and spans August or September.
Highs averaged 34°C and lows stayed at 27°C, so the heat hung on long after sunset. The month averaged 21 rain days. Carry an umbrella. A visitor in 2017 met 13 rain days; one in 2007 met 26. The average of 21 hid that gap.
Highs topped 30°C on 29 days of the month on average. Mixing in indoor stops at midday made sense.
Typhoons i 12 of the last 20 years had a tropical storm pass within 300 km this month.
