Every year when it gets this cold it’s 20 to 50 dead each night. No one says a thing. Because poor people. Total deaths so far from Omicron: zero. ---

Wouldn’t it be nice if the construction of buildings was actually half decent here so this death-by-cold-night thing was not a thing? After all, these folks are not (generally speaking) simply out on the street. F&ck the construction companies here. They are among the worst aspects of life in Taiwan. Guy ---

We are out of old folk in my hood, like the really old, 80 and 90 tier. Of those, 3 taken by accidents. So next tier is upper 60, lower 70. About 6 old folk on my street I am watching like a hawk. Even yours truly, my blood pressure has been on a rather high streak. Take care everyone. ![X1i71Nf](https://forumosauploads-12829.kxcdn.com/original/3X/b/c/bc61fca6344b4431253b95247a25eedc27a25644.jpeg) ---

I just needed to share with Forumosa that my yoga studio ran the heat today. That’s right folks, in Taiwan, all the AC units were set to blow out hot air instead of cold air. (And we requested they be turned off about five minutes into class because the room was the perfect temperature for a nap, not exercise.) ---

> [@tango42](#): > > admittingly yoga clothes can be a bit thin and skimpy This time of year I’m wearing JL’s highest warmth-rated tights anytime I exercise. They’re designed for biking /rowing outdoors when temperatures are much, much lower than Taiwan ever will ever reach. ---

I hope it’ll continue the same. Not on the tip of the spear. It’s been drizzling or pounding rain non-stop for the past two days. Except right now at 00:23, it’s kind of stopped. A little misty. ---

Compare this to the US where it’s just dark and cold and snowy in many places and the next chance to switch up the daily grind (have a break, go outside without covering everything on your body with ten layers) feels millions of years away. But I’d never heard the phrase “blue Monday” until coming to Taiwan (where they describe every Monday as blue) [Previous page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/the-taiwan-weather-thread-2022/215298.md?page=1) [Next page](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/the-taiwan-weather-thread-2022/215298.md?page=3)
