Wu Der-rong: Cold Front Brings Thunderstorms, Temperatures Drop, Northern Taiwan Cooler
According to meteorologist Wu Der-rong, a cold front is moving south today, bringing localized showers and thunderstorms to Taiwan, with effects continuing tomorrow. Vigilance is needed for lightning, strong winds, and sudden heavy rainfall. Temperatures will drop today and tomorrow, with northern Taiwan feeling cooler. However, on the 26th and 27th, it will turn clear and hot, and another cold front is expected to pass on the afternoon of the 29th.

(Central News Agency reporter Huang Chiao-wen, Taipei, 24th) Meteorologist Wu Der-rong stated that a cold front is moving south today, accompanied by localized showers or thunderstorms, and its effects will continue tomorrow. Caution is advised for lightning, strong winds, and sudden heavy rainfall. Temperatures across Taiwan will drop today and tomorrow, with northern Taiwan feeling cooler. On the 26th and 27th, the weather will turn clear and hot, and another cold front is expected to pass on the afternoon of the 29th.
Wu Der-rong, an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at National Central University, stated today in the "Xie Tian Ji Jiao Shi" column of the Meteorological Applications Promotion Foundation that the latest European model (ECMWF) simulation shows a cold front moving south today, accompanied by localized showers or thunderstorms, with the rainfall area continuing to expand southward. The front's influence will persist tomorrow, with localized showers or thunderstorms possible across various regions. During this period, strict vigilance is needed for lightning, strong winds, and sudden heavy rainfall.
Wu Der-rong said that temperatures across Taiwan will drop today and tomorrow, with northern Taiwan feeling cooler. It is expected that today's temperatures will be 17-22 degrees Celsius in the north, 20-28 degrees in the central region, 20-32 degrees in the south, and 19-29 degrees in the east.
He stated that the latest model simulation shows that on the 26th and 27th, the cold front will move away, and the weather will be clear and hot, with rising temperatures. There may be occasional localized brief rainfall in the eastern half.
Wu Der-rong said that on the 28th, moisture from the south will gradually increase, with generally cloudy to clear and warm weather across Taiwan. There may be occasional localized brief rainfall in mountainous areas and the eastern half in the afternoon. He mentioned that another cold front will pass quickly from the afternoon of the 29th to the 30th, bringing a sudden change in weather.
He stated that the latest model simulation has been adjusted to show that from May 1st to 3rd, the cold front will move away, but there will be abundant moisture near Taiwan, making localized brief rainfall likely. However, models from various countries are inconsistent and continuously adjusting, leading to high uncertainty, so continued observation is necessary. (Editor: Huang Ming-hsi) 1150424
