(Central News Agency, reporter Yu Hsiao-han, Taipei, 27th) The Central Weather Administration (CWA) stated that tomorrow will continue to be affected by the Pacific high-pressure system, with clear and hot weather across the country. High temperatures will reach 37 to 38 degrees Celsius. The scope of afternoon thunderstorms will increase, and a front will arrive tomorrow night, bringing scattered showers to central and northern regions.
CWA forecaster Tseng Chao-cheng told the media that tomorrow will continue to be affected by the Pacific high-pressure system, with clear and hot weather. The scope of afternoon thunderstorms will be larger than today, with scattered showers in Yilan, Hualien, the Greater Taipei area, and mountainous areas in central and northern regions.
Regarding temperatures, Tseng stated that tomorrow's high will still reach 37 to 38 degrees Celsius, and the CWA continues to issue high-temperature warnings.
Tseng said that from tomorrow night to the 29th, affected by a front, there will be localized temporary thunderstorms in central and northern regions, while other areas will be cloudy to sunny, mainly with afternoon thunderstorms. However, the structure of the front is not very strong, and significant rainfall on the 29th will occur in the afternoon, with a chance of rain continuing into the night in the south.
From the 30th to the 31st, the front will dissipate, with localized temporary showers in Hualien and Taitung, and attention should be paid to localized temporary rain in central and southern regions and northern mountainous areas in the afternoon. From June 1st to June 2nd, affected by the outer circulation of Typhoon Chan-hom, there will be temporary showers in the windward northern and Yilan areas.
According to CWA observations, Typhoon Chan-hom was located at 10.0 degrees north latitude and 137.6 degrees east longitude at 2:00 PM today, moving northwest at 16 kilometers per hour.
Tseng said that Chan-hom continues to move toward the sea south of the Ryukyu Islands, and is expected to strengthen into a medium typhoon as early as the 30th. The closest point to Taiwan will be on the 31st and June 1st, but it will still be 500 to 800 kilometers away from Taiwan. After June 2nd, Chan-hom will move toward the sea south of Japan.
In addition, Tseng reminded that there is a chance of fog in the Kinmen and Matsu areas from tonight to tomorrow, and there is a chance of long-period waves along the coast of Keelung's north coast, eastern Taiwan (including Lanyu and Green Island), and the Hengchun Peninsula on the 31st.
