Taiwan is bracing for a significant heatwave as the Central Weather Administration (CWA) has issued high-temperature advisories for multiple counties and cities. The heat is expected to be particularly intense in the southern and eastern parts of the island.

Tainan is on high alert, with an orange warning indicating the likelihood of continuous temperatures reaching 36 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, Chiayi, Kaohsiung, Pingtung, and Taitung are under a yellow alert, with temperatures also predicted to surpass 36 degrees Celsius.
