Mercury Hits 41°C in Taitung
The Central Weather Administration says it recorded a temperature of
41-degree in Taitung on Sunday.
That was the hottest in Taiwan so far this year.
The high temperature was recorded in Tai-Ma-Li Township at 1:35PM.
According to the weather administration, the high temperature was driven by
the occurrence of foehn winds in the county.
Similar heat also affected northern and central parts of the island - with
Taipei recording a high of 39.1-degrees and a high of 37.3-degrees being
recorded in Yunlin County.
The weather administration's forecast center says the current heat wave due
to foehn winds will last until tomorrow, when the wind direction will change
to mostly southeasterly winds and the foehn winds in the southeast will
weaken.

Netherlands Outgoing PM Urges Support for Ukraine
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has urged his country to support Ukraine and
international cooperation in his final address to his compatriots.
The 57-year-old Rutte said from his office in The Hague that it is "crucial"
that the Netherlands "is embedded in the European Union and NATO", and said
the countries are stronger together than alone.
His farewell speech on Sunday came as a new government is set to take over
the Netherlands on Tuesday.
Rutte, who led the country for 14 years, will take over as NATO’s new
secretary-general later this year.
The new Dutch government has pledged (保證) to maintain assistance for
Ukraine.
