Pack an umbrella whatever the month: Taipei gets rain on 12–16 days a month. Summers are hot and humid (highs of 33–35°C in July and August); winters are mild (about 19–21°C) but damp, so bring a light jacket.
The one item for Taipei is a compact umbrella: it rains on 12–16 days a month, all year. In typhoon season (July to September) a packable rain jacket is better still, because it keeps your hands free for night-market snacks.
July to September is typhoon season, so keep a day or two of slack in your plans. Taiwan uses the same plugs as Canada at 110 V, so you don't need an adapter.
