【Epoch Times July 1, 2025】(Epoch Times reporter Chung Yuan reporting from Taiwan) Weather alert: Prevent heatstroke in the scorching heat! Meteorological experts issued a statement stating that due to the urban heat island effect in Taipei, the low temperature this morning (1st) could not drop, which is not a good sign! According to the temperature distribution map released by the Central Weather Bureau, Taiwan is being baked like red and purple sweet potatoes.
Former director of the Taiwan Meteorological Bureau (now the Central Weather Bureau) Zheng Ming said in a Facebook post today, “The low temperature in the morning did not drop, which is not a good sign! The temperature in the urban areas is higher than the surrounding suburbs, which is the metropolitan heat island effect of the Taipei Basin!
Some people responded on his Facebook post: “In the summer, Taipei is hotter than Kaohsiung”, “Miss the winter”, “Southern Taiwan is equally scorching”, “The entire Taipei Basin feels like a hot pot”, “Everyone is turning on the air conditioning at home”, “Although it’s very hot in the south during the day, it cools down quickly outside at night, with a gentle breeze blowing, making it quite pleasant”, “It’s really going to be hot”, “Without a typhoon coming to the rescue, it will probably be hot for over a week at night!”
The Taiwan Central Weather Bureau has issued high-temperature information, with clear and hot weather across the country. Today, Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Changhua County are under an orange warning, with a high probability of consecutive temperatures reaching 36 degrees. Please be extra cautious.
