Taipei is experiencing increasingly noticeable high temperatures, with a scholar warning that each year will be the coolest summer of one's remaining life as temperatures continue to rise. The combination of climate change and urban heat island effect in metropolitan areas like Taipei is creating double heat stress. For residents, this means earlier and hotter summers, with high temperatures extending to areas over 60 kilometers away, impacting cities like Taoyuan as well. Measures to cope with the rising temperatures become crucial as the phenomenon worsens over the years.
