Yeah, we’re pretty lucky with weather outside of the rainy season here in Kaohsiung. One of the few perks of this place over Taipei. :stuck_out_tongue:

Taipei gets 200 less hours of sunshine than notoriously rainy city London? :flushed: I knew Taipei had crappy weather, but I didn’t know it was that bad.

During the summer KHH is definitely far less humid than TPE and a couple Celsius less in temperature.

Less humid, yes. Is it really cooler though? Because it feels like an oven in August.

Our family lived a long long time in Taipei. We all agree that the few (3-5) Celsius lower in temperature makes a huge difference in summer.

I knew it, my hair’s growing gray significantly after living here for the last 4 years due to the lack of vitamin D.
