About this episode
Cheng Ming-Dean (鄭明典) is the Director-General of the Central Weather Bureau (氣象局), or the CWB, which researches and forecasts weather, ocean conditions, seismology (basically earthquakes), and even astronomy!
ICRT's Trevor Tortomasi chats with Mr. Cheng about Taiwan's record-setting rainbows, weather forecast technology, the effects of climate change on Taiwan's weather, rising sea levels, how typhoons are named, and whether a giant dehumidifier could save Taiwan from drought.
You can find all kinds of information on Taiwan's atmosphere on the Central Weather Bureau website:

And if you'd like some occasional updates on Taiwan's weather phenomena, you can follow Mr. Cheng himself!
