visiting taipei in the period of dec 20 to jan 9. what should i be prepared for?

Question

We are coming in from a tropical country and we are just worried of what type of winter apparel should we get. What exactly is the weather like there during our visit? Do we need really thick clothing or just mildly thick? Is it insane to test out the weather only when we land wearing sweaters and long pants with shoes first? We plan to buy any winter apparel only when we reach Taiwan as it is more cheaper there compared to tropical countries. What's the best way to prepare here, guys?

According to the weather records, it is cool and windy at that time, and the average temp is about 59 Fahrenheit degree, which is not quite different the tropical area for the city is also near the tropical zone. You don’t need prepare many thick clothes like sweater, for it will be warm, long-sleeved shirts, pants are ok. But you need to note that it rains a lot during that time, so you may prepare some rain gear. Actually, the things you need can be found easily in Taipei, do you can prepare them upon your arrival.
