I just spent 3 lovely days in Kaohsiung walking around in a t-shirt. It was sunny all the back to about 10 kms outside Banqiao and then shit got real. Thinking of moving. ---

Heard about that from a friend I was supposed to visit. But between lack of available transportation and a sick kitty, I missed the sunshine. Friggin humid cold has mold growing in my house in places never seen before… ---

This constant fuzzy rain is maddening. Tiny droplets that blow all up in your face even when you’ve got your umbrella up. What’s the point! Supposed to clear out and warm up a smidge come Friday, though. ---

Is it weird that I know you have the apartment at constant 22c temperature throughout the year. You’ve told us about eight times over the years I figure. Thanks for sharing though Tommy! ---

I would like to find a reference that shows number of overcast days versus true blue sky days. People in Taipei tend to say its sunny, when its really overcast i.e. a think layer of high clouds and no blue sky visible. There are very few blue sky days in Taipei. The day before a typhoon when all the clouds are pushed away would be a good example of blue sky. I wrote down blue sky days for a few months last spring/early summer and there were so few, I gave up. Wasn’t worth keeping track. ---

> [@Xerophytes](#): > > One word. > > Rain. Well at least Taipei is not as bad as wanli where I swear it can rain for literally the whole winter from.november to April and all of May and then nearly everyday there is a thunderstorm in the summer and there are typhoons Ike 280 days a year So Taipei was relatively dry. How to tell a Keelung person from anyone else when walking the streets of Taipei when it’s not raining? The person from Keelung and that whole area including wanli will be carrying an umbrella for when he gets back . May be the same in the ILan area ---
