How to Say ‘It is 30 degrees today.’ in Traditional Chinese

今天三十度。

jīn tiān sān shí dù

[jin tyan sānshí dù]

💬 Usage Tip: There's no "it is": the time word comes first, and the temperature follows directly. Try another one: 明天二十五度 "Tomorrow will be 25 degrees".

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: Taiwan uses Celsius, so 30 degrees is a typical hot summer day, not a cold one.
