Tamsui Climate Observation Station Introduction
The Tamsui Meteorological Station was established in 1937 and officially began operation in 1941, serving as one of the important observation stations in northern Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period, then known as the "Tamsui Branch Office." It has faithfully recorded the climatic changes in the Tamsui area over the years. The station is located above the Tamsui Water Aerodrome and was originally an aviation meteorological observation station affiliated with the aerodrome during the Japanese occupation. In addition to weather observation, it also monitored tidal changes along the coast. It is currently under the jurisdiction of a meteorological unit, and every winter, when cold fronts move south from the north, the lowest temperature data for northern Taiwan reported in meteorological reports actually comes from this key reference point, the Tamsui Meteorological Station. It is now designated as a city historic site. Special note: This historic site currently only announces the land number and area of the designated land. The historic building that was once intended for designation was destroyed before designation, leaving only the foundation; therefore, only the land number and area have been announced. The visible white building has not yet been designated as a historic site.
