Wu Der-rong: Daytime clear and hot, central and southern regions hot as summer, high temperatures reaching 36 degrees

Wu Der-rong stated that daytime high temperatures in the northern part of Taiwan will slightly decrease today but remain hot, while central and southern regions will be hot as summer, requiring attention to sun protection and adequate hydration. The predicted high temperature in southern Taiwan is around 36 degrees Celsius. Temperatures across regions are: Northern Taiwan 20-31°C, Central Taiwan 18-33°C, Southern Taiwan 18-36°C. However, Wu Der-rong also mentioned that from the 15th to the 19th, a weak frontal system will hover over the sea north of Taiwan. Most areas will be mostly cloudy to clear, with slightly cooler high temperatures, but still warm and hot. Northern Taiwan may occasionally experience localized brief showers when affected by its outer bands, and localized brief showers are also possible in mountainous areas in the afternoon and the eastern part of Taiwan. The models from various countries are still being adjusted, and close observation is needed. Regarding typhoons, Wu Der-rong said that the latest data from the Central Weather Administration at 2 AM today shows that Typhoon No. 4, "Sinlaku," located southeast of Guam, is heading towards Guam and is expected to intensify into a "Super Typhoon" by the afternoon of the 13th. Wu Der-rong said that the latest ECMWF and GEFS ensemble models both simulate that it will "make a big turn" in the sea south of Japan. Although the turning points differ, they are all quite far from Taiwan and Japan, consistent with climate data for "April typhoons not affecting Taiwan." (Editor: Li Shu-hua)1150411
