Thanks, Obama!

That’s what it said yesterday…and the day before that.

Where’s the rain Auntie Peng???

Waiting for me to finish lunch.

Melting in Taipei the last coule of days.

Highs for the year and possibly historical record temperatures for May in Taiwan.

Yesterday my weather app said 32C feels like 38C.
Today I think they got it more accurately with 35C feels like 38C!

Just keeps getting hotter every year folks…

Just wish this rain would stop. Been raining for weeks.

Warning : sarcasm detector overload

Speaks the man who forgot his umbrella this morning.

Summer will be long and rough.

Although it hasn’t been mentioned in any reports I have seen it seems that today’s temperature was a historical record high for Taipei .

Guess when the previous historical record for Taipei in May was?

Yes that’s right, last year.

Edit : Actually not sure on last year , but quite likely.

We are doomed.

What the f is a weather front…

You got used to it. But there’s a point you probably won’t be able to !
Me , I’ve been around a longtime and really hate the extra few degrees.

The opposite of a weather back. :sunglasses:

Tomorrow a large Y Front is forecast to approach from the West.
People of modesty are recommended to stay indoors.

That photo is from last year. The powers that be do not consider the weather hot enough to open the city’s swimming pools.

Yes it is NOT Summer yet computer says No.

So I guess my decision to avoid June - October for triathlon races from now on was a good one. I’m looking forward to lots of cycling and swimming this summer! I just hope the air quality is okay. Might need to implement my move to Hualien plan soon if not.

Honestly, just get the hell outta dodge on Friday and head to Hualien. Do your swimming + cycling in Hualien.

Leave your bike in Hualien so you don’t have to worry about bringing it back and forth and take it a few kms up into the gorge.
