Good weather is expected during the Lunar New Year holiday until the second day, but rainfall and large day-night temperature differences from the second day onward should be noted.

From January 31 to February, under the influence of the northeastern monsoon, the eastern part of the island will see brief rain, as will the northern region and mountainous areas in the south. Other areas will be mostly cloudy, with temperatures across Taiwan ranging between 13–20°C. Extra warmth during the day and night is advised. From January 28 to 30, fog or low clouds may reduce visibility during the night and early morning in western Taiwan as well as Matsu and Kinmen—stay vigilant.

During the Lunar New Year holiday, remember to stay hydrated and be mindful of large day-night and morning-evening temperature differences. Traditional heavy coats, warm hats, and gloves may not be necessary this year—opt for lightweight windproof jackets and scarves instead. Travelers planning to visit eastern Taiwan should prepare rain gear and monitor local weather conditions at attractions. Hehuanshan and Yushan saw their second snowfall on January 25, but the holiday period will be drier and colder rather than wet and cold, with less moisture in the air, so chances of snow viewing are low. However, after temperatures drop on the third day, it’s worth keeping an eye out.
