This research investigates the effects of global warming on summer temperatures in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. By analyzing average temperature data from May to July over a seven-year period (2018–2024), the study aims to determine whether there is a significant warming trend both globally and locally. The global temperature data is first examined to identify any general patterns of increasing summer heat. Then, the study focuses specifically on Kaohsiung, analyzing whether the same warming trend is evident. Finally, a comparison between global and local data is conducted to explore the relationship between global climate change and its specific impact on Kaohsiung. The findings provide evidence to better understand how global warming may be influencing regional climates, especially in subtropical cities like Kaohsiung. If the temperature continues to rise, what will Taiwan look like by the end of the century?
