With scorching heat across Taiwan, the UV index on June 23 is at 'dangerous levels' almost everywhere, with the risk of sunburn in just 15 minutes. Motorcyclists are particularly suffering as seat temperatures approach 50-60 degrees Celsius. Some individuals suggest spraying a bottle of water inside the cabin to cool it down, but does it really work? Tests reveal the effectiveness of using water, alcohol, or cooling mist sprays to lower temperatures, with some reaching a difference of 10 degrees. While water is easily accessible, it can heat up under exposure, alcohol evaporates quickly, and cooling mist sprays should not be kept in high-temperature environments. Dermatologists also caution against spraying the face due to the stimulating ingredients. It is advised to stay indoors between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to avoid sunburn and dehydration in such high UV conditions.

Following the Taiwan railway accident caused by a landslide, a civil engineer suggests reconsidering the route selection in the long run. However, experts estimate that if the railway routes are to be completely changed, the process from environmental impact assessments, construction, testing, to opening may take over 10 years and cost at least hundreds of billions of dollars. Safety is also an unknown factor, so it is suggested to first focus on tunnel and stream dredging for immediate mitigation.
