Is it safe to travel to Taiwan?

Taiwan sits at our highest risk level. Over the last 12 months we recorded 11 events, 5 of them severe. Floods came up most often: 4, two of them severe. Earthquakes carry the highest stakes for people here, with 3 recorded, none severe. Then thunderstorms, 2 and both severe, one storm also severe, and one air quality episode. August was the busiest month with 5 events, ahead of June and July with 2 each. April and May were the quietest, 1 each. Rain, floods, storms, thunderstorms and air quality are the hazards that follow a season here, and the summer months carry most of them. Earthquakes follow none. They come in any month, and a busy month says nothing about them. The data does not tell us where inside the country these events fell.

What it changes for a nomad

For a stay of several weeks, the calendar matters for water and wind, not for the ground. April and May were the quietest months with 1 event each, while August alone carried 5 of the 11. If you can choose, spring costs you less disruption. Coming in summer, plan around rain rather than through it: streets under water, transport held, power out, days you work from where you sleep. Pick a place you would be fine in for two days without going out, and check the internet there before you commit. Earthquakes are the other half of the picture and they ignore the season, so the habits that cover them have to hold all year. Keep your work backed up off the machine and keep a mobile data plan that survives a dead home connection.

  1. August 21, 2026

    Over the last 12 months, Taiwan has recorded 10 notable events. Floods and thunderstorms are the most common, with floods happening four times and thunderstorms twice. Floods can be severe and impact travel, especially during the rainy season. Earthquakes occur twice and can be quite impactful, with a high stakes level for people. Storms also happen, with one severe event recorded. Air quality issues are infrequent but can be a concern during certain seasons. The country experiences its busiest hazard months in August, June, and July, with fewer events in April and May. No armed conflict or major security issues are reported, but natural hazards are frequent.

To watch right now

  • One alert is open right now, a thunderstorm at the top of our scale, so expect heavy rain, held transport and possible power cuts while it runs.
  • Treat plans that depend on trains, roads or flights as movable until it clears.

To watch as a rule

  • Floods in the warm months: 4 recorded over the last 12 months, 2 of them severe.
  • Earthquakes in any month, the hazard with the highest stakes here, 3 recorded.
  • Thunderstorms and storms through summer, 3 events between them and all severe.
  • Air quality episodes, one recorded, tied to the season.

Good reflexes

  • Leave the emergency alerts on your phone switched on, sound included.
  • Before you sign for a place, ask how old the building is and what happens on your floor when rain sits for hours.
  • Keep water, a charged power bank and a torch where you can reach them in the dark.
  • Save your work somewhere other than the laptop, every day.
  • Know two ways out of your neighbourhood that do not depend on the same road.
