New Taipei City Weather in November

November feels mild and damp

November is autumn in New Taipei City. Days reach 23°C, but the air feels damp, with high humidity and frequent cloud. Rain falls on many days, so you may get a shower between stops rather than lose a whole day. Compared with October, it's cooler and a little less rainy.

The weather suits city walks, museum visits and a slow meal of Tamsui's famous iron eggs. Wet paths can make hikes around Jiufen and the Teapot Mountain area slippery, so save those for a clearer spell. Beach time is less reliable, especially on the breezy north coast.

What to do, and what to skip

New Taipei City Christmasland usually opens in Banqiao in November. Its lights and displays draw visitors around Banqiao Station, and dates can vary by year. It's a fun evening stop, but expect more people near the displays once the event is running.

If you hate crowds, visit Banqiao's Christmasland on a weekday, or spend the day in quieter Tamsui instead. November has no major nationwide school break, so crowds are generally lighter than during summer and Lunar New Year. Hotels can also be easier on your budget than in those peak periods, though Christmasland can make Banqiao busier.

Make the most of a grey day

Cloudy weather can soften views from the coast, so don't make a long trip to Yehliu Geopark only for its sea views. The rock formations are still worth seeing, and the visitor area gives you more to explore when the sky is dull. Keep an eye on rain before setting out.

For a practical local stop, take the MRT to Banqiao and walk to Christmasland from the station; you won't need to navigate a wet drive or hunt for parking. If rain sets in, duck into nearby Mega City for food and shelter before heading back out.
