Classrooms turn on heating as temperatures drop in Yunlin
Classrooms turn on heating as temperatures drop in Yunlin
2026-01-08
Thursday was nippy cold in many areas of the island, even down in the plains. Gukeng in Yunlin registered a mere 6.7°C. Thankfully students at a local school have heating inside their classrooms. Over in the high mountains, there were several areas with snow, including Hehuan Mountain and Tataka.
Snowflakes fall from the sky, making for a picture perfect wintry scene. Thursday morning was a snowy one at Song Syue Lodge on Hehuan Mountain, which got a dusting of white.

It started snowing at half past eight, and we got about half a centimeter.
Police restricted traffic along Provincial Highway 14A from Kunyang to Song Syue Lodge, and allowed only vehicles with snow chains. It was a similar scene at Tataka.
It was cold enough for snow up in the mountains. Down in the plains, it was as chilly as it gets, with just 6.7°C in Gukeng, Yunlin. At Jhanghu Elementary and Junior High School, teachers and students had to contend with the biting cold on the way to class. Thankfully, there’s heating indoors to keep the freezing cold outside.
After a while, they all take off their thick coats, and some even roll up their sleeves.

At least it’s warm inside the classrooms. It’s not like it’s cold everywhere.

We tell new teachers that they shouldn’t open the windows when invigilating exams in winter. If you do, the fog will pour in and you won’t be able to catch students cheating.
Jhanghu Elementary and Junior High School is located 800m above sea level, making it comfortably cool in summer. Here, the government’s air conditioning policy for all classrooms is essentially a heating policy for the winter.

We don’t turn on the air con frequently in summer, but during the winter, especially on days like this where it’s just 6°C, almost every class turns on the heating.
Thanks to the heating system, more than 100 students can study at a comfy temperature. It’s hard to imagine just how cold it could get in winter in this mountain school, but now everyone is warm and cozy.

銀白世界! 合歡山松雪樓雪花紛飛 積雪0.5公分
2026-01-08
強烈冷氣團，全台降溫，今天8日清晨，平地最低溫出現在雲林古坑6.7度，鄉內的樟湖國中及小學，學生上學卻"很溫暖"，因為「班班有冷氣」政策，教室可以吹暖氣；至於高海拔的合歡山、塔塔加以及鳶峰，甚至出現短暫飄雪！
白雪紛飛，刷出冷冷的天！ 8日早上合歡山松雪樓下雪了！地面上積雪，像是鋪上一層雪白地毯。

“8點半左右開始飄雪，積雪厚度達0.5公分。”
由於地面積雪，警方指出，台14甲線昆陽至松雪樓，限掛雪鏈通行；另外塔塔加也飄下白雪。
高山已經冷得下雪，平地也不遑多讓，8日清晨平地最低溫出現在雲林古坑鄉6.7度，樟湖國中小師生上學，體感溫度很刺激，外頭破10度的低溫冷吱吱，進到室內遙控按下去，暖風送出來。
本來各個厚外套加身，過一回兒已經脫外套，還差點捲袖子。

“至少在教室裡面會比較溫暖，不會說在學校都很冷。”
[[樟湖國中小老師 陳綺華]]
“我們會跟新來的老師說，如果冬天你正在考試的話，千萬不要隨便開窗戶，因為學生作弊你都看不到，因為霧就這樣進來。”
老師打趣地分享學校的特殊位置，位於海拔約800公尺的樟湖國中小，夏天涼爽，「班班有冷氣」的政策，對他們來說更是冬天急凍時「班班有暖氣」的實際。
[[樟湖國中小教務主任 洪珮甄]]
“我們學校在夏天不是很常使用到冷氣，但是現在冬天，加上今天早上在學校只有6度，學生普遍每個班都有開暖氣。”
還好有冷氣，不！是有暖氣，校內一百多位學生可以在舒適溫度下室內學習。樟湖國中小因位處山區，以往冬季教室內外都是冷颼颼，現在可以暖呼呼。
