Summer in Taipei vs Summer in Kyoto or Tokyo vs Summer in Singapore

Hey all,

I am wondering if I can get first hand testimonies of anyone’s experiences living in Taipei during summer compared to living in Kyoto or Tokyo during summer.

I am living in Singapore right now and may make a temporary move to Taipei or Kyoto or Tokyo for various reasons, primarily spiritual.

I am trying to meditate in a most pleasant environment and hot humid summers are major obstacles to my “rightful concentrations”.

There are other countries other cities in the world of course but there can be only one as the Highlander Duncan McCloud would say. :call_me_hand:

Thank you for your information. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Taipei is super hot and super humid! Not gonna be conducive to your meditation.

3

I dunno–summer includes Taiwan’s ghost month! I think you should go to Sierra Leone.

4

Not liking hot humid summers, then it is a no brainer to go to Japan instead of Taiwan.

Summer is also typhoon season, but usually not bad in Taipei compared to the east coast.

EDIT: Sorry, I just realized this chart is in Fahrenheit.

it is obvious that the least hot humid place in summer is Tokyo.

I living in Singapore for a few years. Taipei and Taiwan feel much more hot and much more humid plus worse air pollution. Kyoto also will be hot.
