(CNA, Taipei, 22nd, Reporter Chang Hsiung-feng) The Central Weather Administration issued a high-temperature color alert for Tainan and Pingtung today, advising caution for temperatures of 36 degrees Celsius or above. Meteorological expert Wu Der-romg stated that a front will approach tomorrow afternoon, bringing rain from north to south, with precipitation lasting until the 25th. People across the island should be on alert for localized showers or thunderstorms.
The Central Weather Administration issued high-temperature information warning of hot weather, raising a yellow alert for Tainan City and Pingtung County around noon today, urging caution for temperatures exceeding 36 degrees.
Wu Der-romg, an adjunct associate professor at National Central University's Department of Atmospheric Sciences, wrote today in his "Classroom of Disclosing Heavenly Secrets" column for the Meteorological Application Promotion Foundation that the latest European model simulations show mostly clear to cloudy and hot daytime weather across regions from today until tomorrow morning, with occasional brief localized rain in mountainous areas in the afternoon and eastern halves.
Wu Der-romg said that starting tomorrow afternoon, a front will approach, and areas north of central Taiwan will turn to localized showers or thunderstorms, with dropping temperatures. On the 24th, the front will move south, bringing localized showers or thunderstorms from north to south. Temperatures will drop nationwide, and northern Taiwan will feel cooler; on the 25th, still under the influence of the front, various areas will experience localized showers or thunderstorms. During this period, precautions should be taken against lightning strikes, strong winds, and sudden heavy downpours.
Wu Der-romg pointed out that on the 26th and 27th, the front will move away, temperatures will rise, and the weather will be clear and hot. On the 28th and 29th, southern moisture will gradually increase, with most areas seeing cloudy to clear skies, occasional brief showers in central and southern mountainous areas in the afternoon and eastern halves, but remaining quite hot. On the 30th and May 1st, another front will approach, making the atmosphere unstable. Models from various countries are still adjusting toward the end of the period, so continued observation is necessary. (Editor: Li Hsi-chang) 1150422
