Sigh. Better do the laundry before the weekend. As usual, weekdays are sunny, weekends…rotten cold and rainy. > **[Extremely cold air mass to arrive in Taiwan next week | Taiwan News |...](https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3333006)** > > The cold snap is expected to set record low temperatures for this winter.The extremely cold air mass is said to blanket Taiwan between next Tuesday and Friday, January 9-12. | 2018-01-03 12:23:00 ---

Danshui waterfront, looking up river, isn’t it? Sigh. My first reaction was “Damn, that looks nice - I wish I lived there.” Then I realized I do live there. And I spent the day inside, looking out the window, trying to get work done. Which I failed to do. So I should have just gone for a walk anyway. ---

Good tip - but probably easier said than done - we also belong to those who slave away all week and look forward to a little R&R and fresh air on the weekends. 😉 @tango42 > [@tango42](#): > > Specifically, right here at historic Tamsui Customs Wharf > > [https://maps.google.com/?cid=7088458357490083067&hl=en&gl=us&shorturl=1](https://maps.google.com/?cid=7088458357490083067&hl=en&gl=us&shorturl=1) Awesome - thanks! ---

Oh my … well, if you REALLY want to go to Danshui on a sunny weekend, by the time you get to the location in the photo the crowd isn’t quite as bad. But the area within about one kilometer of the MRT station is awful. ---

Tomorrow’s forecast is 26 degrees, hotter than today. So wear appropiate clothes folks. No winter sweaters. ---

I have my two fans on. I am wearing light long sleeves, no sweater, no socks/stockings. Sun is blazing and the sky is as blue as can be expected. ---

It _was_ nice and sunny outside, and now the Taipei skies are permeated by a ghastly miasma. God help us all! [Next page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/the-taiwan-weather-thread-2018/166187.md?page=2)
