Taipei is getting foehn winds, hence the high heat.

Meanwhile Kaohsiung is getting hit with heavy rain showers and it’s like walking around in a greenhouse. It’s all good on this little island.

Literally impossible. Fœhn winds in Taiwan are generally in Taitung or Hengchun. They can’t cover the entire island.

Edit: I read that as Taiwan. I guess it might be fœhning in Taipei.

You’re just foening it in today.

Whatever wind that occurs next to typhoons and goes over a mountain, then comes back down very heated because not only is it getting compressed, it’s preventing thermals from going up, leading to extreme heat.

You bet it is.

That hot dry wind just blows right through me

I love it! As long as I am in the shade.

I’m hoping it turns into a sirocco.

That photo may be more @Sanahashmi than Sana Hashmi. :upside_down_face:

Who is Sana Hashmi?

Dr Hashmi is a political scientist and a long-term resident of Taiwan who (ahem) seems to like photos of Taipei 101. :joy:

Her twitter account also provides nice Indian food shots which I appreciate.

Yeah imagine moving to an island in the tropics to find it out it rains a lot and has humidity and high temperatures. Shocker.

Taipei still stifling hot even at night.

Heavy rains in Taitung last night.

Wonderful walking weather today!
