Improved Weather Today; Clouds Increase Friday, Rain and Cooldown Over Weekend
Taiwan is experiencing improved weather conditions today, with cloud cover set to increase by Friday. The weekend will bring rain and a significant cooldown.
Current Weather Conditions
As of today, temperature readings in Taiwan have shown a rise due to the influx of dry air and the passage of a mid-level high-pressure ridge. However, this morning, notable radiative cooling was observed in areas such as Hsinchu with temperatures dropping to 7.5°C, and in Miaoli at 8.5°C.
Low Temperatures
- Hsinchu: 7.5°C
- Miaoli: 8.5°C
- Yunlin, Central Taiwan: 10.4°C
- Nantou, Zhongliao: 10.8°C
In Taipei, early morning temperatures dipped to 15.5°C, recovering slightly to 15.8°C just before dawn. As the northeast monsoon activity diminishes, winds will shift from northeast to east by evening, leading to a warmer and more stable weather pattern.
Forecast for the Weekend
Tomorrow, a southeasterly wind is expected, gradually shifting to a southern and southwestern flow at higher altitudes. A short wave trough developing over southern China will influence cloud formations. This may lead to increased cloud cover and sporadic rain, particularly in central and northern regions.
Temperature Predictions
- North and Northeast: Daytime high of 20-22°C
- Central and Eastern Taiwan: Daytime high of 21-24°C
- South: Daytime high of 24-27°C
Nighttime lows will remain consistent, with temperatures ranging from 15-17°C in northern urban areas, and potentially dropping below 14°C in open regions.
Upcoming Changes
As low-pressure systems develop off the northeastern coast this Friday, expect significant changes in weather. Rain is likely to begin Saturday morning in northern areas, particularly from Miaoli northward.
Rain and Temperature Changes
Forecasts indicate that Saturday and Sunday will see heightened chances of rain, primarily in northern and eastern mountain areas. The southern regions may experience lighter conditions with partly cloudy skies.
The expected drop in temperatures will be noticeable, particularly on Sunday as the northeast monsoon strengthens. Daytime highs may fall to 15-17°C in the north and 18-20°C in central regions.
Advice for Residents
Residents are advised to remain vigilant for potential weather changes this weekend, including localized cold spells and the possibility of sleet or snow in higher elevations. A return to warmer weather is predicted by Tuesday as conditions stabilize.
