Temperatures in Hualien soar to 41.2 degrees as Banqiao records highest temp in 19 years

2022-07-22

Taiwan continues to bake in scorching heat. Hualien once again recorded the day’’s highest temperature, at 41.2 degrees in Zhuoxi Township. Over in Northern Taiwan, the mercury hit 39.3 degrees in Banqiao in the early afternoon, the highest temperature recorded there since 2003. And if this report hasn’’t made you melt already, it’’s going to get hotter over the weekend.

Adults and children alike, regardless of whether they can swim or not splash around in this wading pool to cool off.

Going down the water slide again and again, all the children are having a blast. To not get sunburned some of the parents accompanying them wear hats and clothing for cover, while others simply hide under the shade of the trees. High temperatures are engulfing the island as the North Pacific High picks up strength. Experts say this coming weekend will be even hotter.

In the period from July 23 to July 25, the high pressure system will reach close to Taiwan and weather patterns won’t change too much. Before the 24, the northern regions, along with Yilan and Hualien, will see particularly high temperatures. In Greater Taipei and regions in Taoyuan close to New Taipei, it will feel really hot.

Look up, and it’s all clear skies. The heat won’t be easily dissipated owing to a high pressure system covering the skies over Taiwan. In addition, westerly winds are blowing heat toward the nation, which caused the temperature in Hualien’s Zhuoxi Township to climb to 41.2 degrees.

Will Taipei be as hot as this? There is a chance that it may get to be over 38 degrees. Like we saw recently, Taipei’s Shezi and certain areas can easily reach high temperatures of 37 or 38 degrees. It’s rare for the CWB to project three days of continuous high heat so far in advance.

The high pressure system could ease on Monday, allowing the weather to cool down with the possibility of afternoon thunderstorms.

花蓮卓溪鄉飆41.2度 板橋刷新19年設站紀錄

2022-07-22

明天就是大暑,受到太平洋高壓影響,這幾天台灣進入高溫酷熱天氣,繼昨天花蓮玉里飆破40.7度後,今天卓溪鄉又測到41.2度高溫,板橋在1:53分,測到39.3度,也刷新2003年來設站紀錄。氣象局警告,這個周末會更熱。

大小朋友,無論會不會游泳,換上泳裝、都先下水清涼一下。

滑水道玩了一次又一次,小朋友全都嗨翻,陪玩的爸媽則是很怕曬,有人帽子、防曬衣全副武裝,還有人乾脆躲在樹陰底下納涼。高溫來襲,太平洋高壓增強下,全台熱得像烤番薯一樣,接下來這個周末還會更熱。

“23、24、25號,這段期間高壓都在台灣附近,天氣型態並不會太大改變,24號以前整個北部地區、宜花地區,溫度容易特別高,大台北地區、桃園接近新北的地方,都容易會有體感溫度相對高的情況出現”

抬頭望向天空,幾乎看不到任何雲系,因為高壓系統正壟罩台灣上空,導致熱不易散開,加上西風又把熱往台灣送,今天花蓮卓溪鄉甚至測到了41.2度高溫。

[[氣象局課長 林秉煜]]
“台北地方會不會到這麼熱,38度以上的機率,可能會有的,像過去我們常常看到社子或某些地方,容易出現37、38度左右高溫,氣象局很難得在很早之前,就先針對台北或某些地區,先預警有連續三天高溫出現的情況”

連日高溫要到下周一,高壓稍微北抬後,午後雷雨範圍變多,才有機會降溫。
