Taiwan Typhoon Live Cameras

Taiwan's position facing the Philippine Sea means its west and east coasts often see very different conditions during the same tropical cyclone — mountain ranges down the island's spine can shelter one side while the other takes the direct approach. This page tracks tropical cyclones currently reported near Taiwan and groups matched cameras by coastal, urban and mountain views so the regional difference is visible rather than flattened into one list.

Cameras are re-matched as a storm's reported position updates, so the set shown here reflects the most recent track rather than where the system started.

How cameras are selected for this page

Coastal and harbor cameras are prioritized for storm visibility, followed by city cameras in Taipei, Kaohsiung and other major centers, and mountain cameras where they help show conditions on the windward side of the island.

Because the east and west coasts can be affected very differently by the same storm, cameras are labelled with their city so it is easy to tell which side of Taiwan a given view covers.

What these cameras may show

  • Sea state and wind effects along exposed coastlines, harbor activity, and street-level rain and wind conditions in major cities.
  • Mountain cameras can show cloud and rain intensity building on the windward slopes before a system makes its closest approach.

What these cameras cannot confirm

  • Central Weather Administration (CWA) forecast tracks, landslide risk in mountain areas, or flooding extent in low-lying districts.
  • Whether a specific district has been placed under an official typhoon day or evacuation order — that information comes only from CWA and local government announcements.

Frequently asked questions

Why do east-coast and west-coast cameras sometimes look completely different during the same typhoon?
Taiwan's Central Mountain Range runs the length of the island and can shelter one coast while the other takes the storm's direct approach — it is common for the west coast to look calm while the east coast is experiencing strong wind and rain, or the reverse.
How current is the typhoon data on this page?
