Though this may be the case, so far there does not appear to be any linkage between changes in annual rainfall in Taiwan and the trend of rising annual mean temperatures. Indeed, whereas extreme weather conditions-like heat waves, droughts, violent storms, or blizzards-have hit a number of places around the world in recent years, it is difficult to link these directly to global warming.
雖然如此，但迄今台灣的年雨量變化與年均溫上升的趨勢，似乎並無關聯；甚至近年在全球各地頻出現的氣候異常現象，如熱浪、乾旱、暴雨、暴風雪，也很難直接與暖化現象劃上等號。
