Taipei’s temperature today broke all records, becoming the hottest May day in 122 years. At 11.17am, the temperature shot up to a blistering 38.2 degrees Celsius. This broke a 1991 record of 37.7 degrees. Records were also shattered in Taichung and Banqiao.

The New Taipei City Government dispatched trucks with sprinkler systems to give relief to pedestrians. The Central Weather Bureau says that temperatures across Taiwan will be slightly lower starting tomorrow owing to the weakening of the Pacific high pressure system over the island, and the approach of a weather front — but they will still stay within the range of 33 to 35 degrees.     [SOURCE]
