Taipei Braces for 37°C Heat on June 2

Taipei is set for a sweltering day on June 2, with the highest temperature at Taipei Songshan Airport Station expected to reach 37°C or higher. The reading would mark a notably hot start to June for the capital, underscoring the arrival of intense early-summer heat.

Residents are likely to face oppressive conditions through the day, particularly in urban areas where heat can build quickly around roads, buildings and transit corridors. Authorities and health officials typically urge people to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours and check on vulnerable residents during periods of extreme heat.
