(Central News Agency reporter Chang Hsiung-feng, Taipei, 15th) The Central Weather Administration (CWA) stated that a frontal system will affect the Keelung North Coast tonight, with attention needed for heavier rainfall. Moisture will remain high tomorrow; on the 18th, a frontal system will pass, coupled with a strengthening northeast monsoon, making it the most significant rainy day of the coming week, with almost all of Taiwan experiencing rain and temperatures slightly dropping in northern and Yilan/Hualien regions.
CWA forecaster Cheng Chieh-jen told the Central News Agency that a frontal system quickly passed today, and the Keelung North Coast should pay attention to localized heavier rainfall tonight. Moisture will still be high tomorrow, with scattered brief showers in central and northern Taiwan and Yilan, and localized brief showers in mountainous areas in the afternoon.
Cheng Chieh-jen stated that on the 17th, the next frontal system will approach, bringing localized brief showers to Taoyuan and areas north, Yilan, and Hualien, and scattered brief showers to Hsinchu/Miaoli, Taitung, Hengchun Peninsula, and mountainous areas in central and southern Taiwan in the afternoon.
Cheng Chieh-jen pointed out that on the 18th, the frontal system will pass, followed by a strengthening northeast monsoon. Under the influence of the northeast monsoon on the 19th, the 18th is expected to be the most significant rainy day of the coming week, with localized brief showers in central and northern Taiwan, eastern Taiwan, Hengchun Peninsula, and mountainous areas in southern Taiwan. From the evening of the 18th to the early morning of the 19th, there will be scattered brief showers in southern Taiwan; on the 19th, the rain will weaken, with localized brief showers in Hualien/Taitung and mountainous areas in central and southern Taiwan, and scattered brief showers in central and northern Taiwan and Yilan.
Cheng Chieh-jen mentioned that on the 20th, the northeast monsoon will weaken, and the period until the 22nd will see gradually stabilizing weather and decreasing moisture, with easterly to southeasterly winds. Localized brief showers are expected in Hualien/Taitung, and localized brief showers in central and southern mountainous areas in the afternoon.
Regarding temperatures, Cheng Chieh-jen said that temperatures will remain warm to hot tomorrow and on the 17th, with highs around 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. On the 18th, the northeast monsoon will strengthen, and on the 19th, under its influence, highs in Yilan/Hualien will slightly drop to 24 to 26 degrees, northern Taiwan to about 25 to 28 degrees, while central and southern Taiwan and Taitung will see little change, remaining around 29 to 31 degrees. From the 20th, the northeast monsoon will weaken, and highs across Taiwan will rise again to 28 to 32 degrees.
Cheng Chieh-jen reminded that in the early morning tomorrow, central and northern Taiwan, and all day on the 17th in Matsu and Kinmen, and in the early morning in central and northern Taiwan, there is a high chance of low clouds or localized fog, affecting visibility. Tomorrow, the Keelung North Coast, eastern Taiwan (including Green Island and Orchid Island) coastal areas, and Hengchun Peninsula should be aware of long waves. (Editor: Wu Su-jou) 1150415
