Daytime temperatures have passed 36 C every day since Aug. 5, hitting a high today of 38.2 C, according to the Central Weather Bureau (CWB).

This surpassed the nine-day record set from July 8-16 in 2012 to become the lengthiest Taipei hot spell in the 120 years since the Taipei weather station began making records.
