I guess so! http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2015/06/15/2003620754

Yeah, it's OK to say fucking on this site. Nobody reads it anyway! It gets just about as hot here, 34 or even 35, but it doesn't feel so bad for a couple reasons. First, it cools down to 24 or so every night. Second, we have huge trees everywhere, so the full force of the sun only hits us for about 3 hours a day. Third, we have a two story enclosed stilt house, and my man cave (a phrase I learned upon my return to the US) is the first floor, and we have ceiling fans everywhere.

That Taitung sun is viscous. I think it even feels stronger than the sun on Guam, which is actually farther south. Why is that?
