Recent heatwaves have turned Taiwan into a 'baked sweet potato,' with sea temperature rising in the areas around the Philippines, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, with the Taiwan Strait reaching 29-30 degrees. Meteorological experts predict that the hot weather will continue until mid-July, with atmospheric circulation showing no signs of change. The Pacific high pressure is cited as the cause of the high sea temperature, suppressing cloud and rain development but also hindering typhoon formation.
