Taiwan records hottest year in 127 years amid global heat surge

India Today  

Taiwan said Tuesday that this year was the hottest since records began 127 years ago, echoing unprecedented temperature highs felt around the world. As of Sunday, the annual average temperature in Taiwan stood at 24.97 degrees Celsius, exceeding the previous record of 24.91C in 2020 and setting a new high, the Central Weather Administration said. But, it warned that the next two months would bring "relatively lower average temperatures, with a chance of extreme cold spells", despite the global warming trend. Taiwan is accustomed to frequent tropical storms from July to October, but the island's weather agency said it was unusual for such a powerful typhoon to hit that late in the year.
