Keelung climate and its causes

Keelung, because the northeast monsoon crosses the ocean in winter, and because there are mountains and seas.

It is wet and rainy, and only the southwest monsoon can reach it in summer. Although it is located in the northernmost part of Taiwan Province Province, it is quite hot.

Keelung is nicknamed "Rain Harbor" mainly because of Keelung's rainy and humid climate. In winter, Keelung is just in the windward area of the northeast monsoon from northern Chinese mainland to Taiwan Province Province. The mountainous terrain interferes with the monsoon entering the inland, resulting in Keelung being shrouded in a humid and rainy climate after entering the winter from June to February in 5438 every year, but the rain is mostly continuous drizzle; Especially during the communication period in winter and spring, heavy fog often appears in Keelung Port area and urban area, which even forces the port operation of Keelung Port to stop completely in serious cases. However, many people have given this weather the reputation of "fog-locked rain port". However, in recent years, with the influence of global greenhouse effect, after entering1990s, the annual rainfall in Keelung showed signs of decreasing, and severe drought occurred in some years.
