Taipei in October October 10 is National Day (Double Ten), a holiday, with a ceremony in front of the Presidential Office Building. The heat eases, but wet days are still common, so bring an umbrella if you hoped for autumn skies.
October brought serious heat to Taipei, 28°C on a typical afternoon and 23°C overnight. Early mornings were the best time to be outside. Day and night differed by only 5°C, so one outfit worked from breakfast to late dinner. Rain fell on more than half the days: 18 on average. The average is 18, but individual years ran from 9 (2006) to 27 (2010).
Highs passed 30°C on 8 days on average. Not every year was typical: 2025 ran 3.1°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 31.0°C. Rain days averaged 15 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.
Typhoons i 3 of the last 20 years had a tropical storm pass within 300 km this month.
