Is Taiwan in the Tropics? Yes—Mostly

Taiwan's Climate Zones

The Tropic of Cancer (23°27′ N) cuts across southern Taiwan, passing through Chiayi City and Dapeng Bay in Pingtung County.

• Northern Taiwan: Subtropical climate (cooler winters, hot summers).
• Southern Taiwan: Tropical climate (warm year-round, distinct wet/dry seasons).

Because the majority of the island lies south of the Tropic of Cancer, Taiwan is considered predominantly tropical, though the north experiences subtropical conditions.
