Correspondingly, there is a decrease in humidity, and rainfall drops markedly. It results in fewer wet days and more opportunities to explore Taipei under the autumn sky. These daylight hours, though unspooling slightly, are complemented by less intense sunshine and UV radiation, signaling a gentler outdoor environment at this time of the year.
