The Taiwan Weather Thread 2021

Wonderful day today. Breezy, low humidity, cool wind.

Yup, pretty much as good as it gets, although I guess if you want to relax on the beach and go swimming it’d be a bit cool. Looks like more of the same tomorrow, which is great, because tomorrow I’ll have more time to enjoy it!

19.5° at 23:45. Another blue ribbon day. Shit for traditional surfing due to the high winds, but my kite boarding pals we’re ripping it up!

After the front view, the rear view was such a disappointment. I’m talking about the kite surfers, of course. :sunglasses:

I really have to get on a board again… But 15-20knots is a bit lame. I love those 35-40 knots days - then you can boost and not just troll ride around…
Penghu often has nice winds - but I feel October is the best time (in winter too cold, right now good winds usually with cold weather / storm front = gusty as fuck) but haven’t been actually kiting here yet. Oh really wanna travel freely again and hit Cape Town or Brazil for some nice boost.

A good morning for most as we need the rain (In Kaoshuing it been a light rain since Sunday more moderate this morning)

Fuck yeah!

I hope the sudden rain in the south doesn’t cause any problems though. Usually rain is better and safer when it’s not too much at once.

I had to hike up to 3000 meters in it. Tbh I think I brought the rain with me to the south. Ten minutes after we started hiking on Sunday it started.

I am the rain king.

Hey dude, who do you think you are, the rain king or something?

Oh we’re not allowed to whinge about the rain, because we need it or something or other. Guess I’ll move on then.

This is great news for our water situation. That weather map is looking good as well because I’m heading to Orchid Island tomorrow.

It’s only good if it keeps raining for a week.

Flight or ferry?

If the latter: from Fugang or Kenting?

Always curious about these things!

How long will it be before people start whining about continuous raining.

Ferry from Fugang. I’m too nervous to fly on the small plane.

I’ve been there once before and took the ferry, no problem. I took motion sickness medicine, closed my eyes, and listened to my headphones so I didn’t get sick. The headphones really helped to drown out the sound of the other passengers vomiting.
