Make that 12 days in a row!
37.8C today
Apart from the record number of 36+ days, Taipei has also hit the 37+ record out of the park
Slightly disappointed (from a weather watching sense) that we didn’t crack 39C this year and threaten the all time max, and the chance has probably passed now, but at least we have something to aim at next year…

The way things are going, we could nail that one in January

My 4th floor “extra” room hit 46C. The digital thermometer actually stopped working due to the heat up there. Even with open windows.

Yikes!
Hot weather to last for at least another week: forecasters.12 consecutive days of maximum temperatures above 36 degrees Celsius, and 11 days of more than 37 degrees, enough to make this hot spell the longest heat wave in 120 years for the Taiwanese...
Not a nice record. Maybe some relief in sight?
Taipei, Aug. 17 (CNA) The hot weather in Taiwan over the past few days will ease off slightly Thursday due to a weakening continental tropical air mass moving north and increased moisture near the country, according to the Central Weather Bureau...
The weather on Thursday will remain sunny and hot, with chances of thunderstorms in mountainous areas, the greater Taipei area and plains in central and southern Taiwan, according to the CWB forecast.
Another 37.7C to add to the record bank today
That’s 14 days in a row of 36+
I wonder at what point we stop counting and just accept that it’s gonna be 36+ every day from now on…
That said, there does look to be a whole conga-line of typhoons about to form

And does it still count as hot if it is that hot every day?

My AC broke down in the middle of the night. Called the repair company, and they said they have a waiting list up to September…As an emergency, may rush say Thursday OK?
I am sleeping in the living room with the windows open. Apologies to the neighborhood.

I’ll be enjoying the nice cool breeze and cooler temps for the time being. Definitely has an autumn feel to it.
However, Weather Underground says it’s suppose to kick back up to 35C+ this weekend.
thanks god (a little chinglish there) for the slightly cooler weather today. i was getting driven mad the last few days from the worse than usual humid heat.
No rest for the wicked!
I see Taipei again topped the pops with 35.8 today
For those planning to go to Taidong this weekend, the weather is looking good!
CWB still has thunder and lightning icons night and day for the next week, but that’s not gonna happen
The low pressure that was potentially going to develop is already interacting with PPE and that will prevent it getting any bigger
