(Central News Agency reporter Huang Chiao-wen, Taipei, May 1st) Tomorrow marks the second day of the Labor Day holiday weekend. The Central Weather Administration (CWA) announced that from tomorrow until the daytime of May 3rd, most areas will be cloudy to sunny, with high temperatures ranging from 31 to 33 degrees Celsius in western Taiwan. From the evening of May 3rd to May 4th, a front will pass and the northeast monsoon will strengthen, bringing a chance of rain to various areas, with localized heavier rainfall possible in central and northern Taiwan.
The Labor Day holiday weekend runs from today until May 3rd, with tomorrow being the second day. CWA forecaster Cheng Chieh-jen told the Central News Agency that the weather from tomorrow to the daytime of May 3rd will be similar, generally cloudy to sunny across Taiwan, with isolated brief showers in Hualien, Taitung, and the Hengchun Peninsula. Localized brief thunderstorms are possible in mountainous areas across Taiwan tomorrow afternoon, extending to Greater Taipei and Yilan on May 3rd.
Cheng Chieh-jen pointed out that from the evening of May 3rd to May 4th, as the front passes and the northeast monsoon strengthens, central and northern Taiwan and Yilan will experience brief showers or thunderstorms, with localized heavier rainfall possible in central and northern areas. Other regions will also turn to localized brief showers or thunderstorms.
Although the northeast monsoon will slightly weaken on May 5th, Cheng Chieh-jen stated that due to the continuous eastward movement of the cloud and rain system from southern China, western Taiwan will experience brief showers, and eastern Taiwan will have localized brief showers, with the rainfall in western Taiwan being relatively more widespread.
The weather will gradually stabilize after May 6th. Cheng Chieh-jen noted that on May 6th and 7th, eastern Taiwan and the Hengchun Peninsula will have localized brief rain, while other areas will be cloudy to sunny, with localized brief thunderstorms in mountainous areas of central and southern Taiwan in the afternoon. He mentioned that on May 8th, the environment will shift to a southeasterly wind, bringing localized brief showers to Hualien, Taitung, and the Hengchun Peninsula, while other areas will remain cloudy to sunny with localized brief thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Regarding temperatures, Cheng Chieh-jen said that on May 2nd and 3rd, high temperatures in western Taiwan will be around 31 to 33 degrees Celsius, while eastern Taiwan will see 26 to 28 degrees tomorrow and 30 to 31 degrees on May 3rd. For low temperatures, northern Taiwan, Yilan, and Hualien will be 19 to 21 degrees tomorrow, and central and southern Taiwan and Taitung will be 22 to 23 degrees. On May 3rd, low temperatures across Taiwan will be around 22 to 24 degrees.
Cheng Chieh-jen pointed out that on May 4th, northern Taiwan, Yilan, and Hualien will turn cooler, with high temperatures of 24 to 26 degrees, while Taitung and central and southern Taiwan will still have high temperatures of 29 to 33 degrees. On May 5th, high temperatures in central and southern Taiwan will slightly drop to 28 to 30 degrees, while northern Taiwan will see little change.
Cheng Chieh-jen stated that from May 6th, the northeast monsoon will weaken, and temperatures will gradually rise, with high temperatures in western Taiwan around 29 to 33 degrees Celsius and eastern Taiwan 26 to 30 degrees. Low temperatures in central and northern Taiwan, Yilan, and Hualien will be 19 to 22 degrees, and other areas 22 to 23 degrees. (Editor: Chen Jen-hua) 1150501
