Tamsui Climate Observatory Introduction
The Tamsui Climate Observation Station was established in 1937 and officially opened in 1941. It was one of the important observation stations in northern Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period, then referred to as the "Tamsui Branch Office." It has faithfully recorded the climatic changes in the Tamsui area over the years. The Tamsui Climate Observation Station is located above the Tamsui Water Airport and was originally an aviation meteorological observation station affiliated with the Tamsui Water Airfield during the Japanese colonial period. In addition to observing meteorological conditions, it also monitored coastal tidal changes. It is currently under the jurisdiction of meteorological authorities. Every winter, when the cold front from the north moves south, the meteorological reports indicating the lowest temperatures in northern Taiwan come from this iconic reference point, the Tamsui Climate Observation Station. It is now designated as a city historic site.
