(Central News Agency reporter Huang Qiaowen, Taipei, 1st) Weather expert Wu Derong stated today, the first day of the Labor Day holiday, that from now until the 3rd, the weather will turn sunny to partly cloudy. On the 4th and 5th, the first plum rain front of the rainy season will affect Taiwan, bringing localized rain or thunderstorms to central and northern areas, and possibly localized brief showers or thunderstorms to the south.
Wu Derong stated in his "Leaking Heavenly Secrets Classroom" column at the Meteorological Application Promotion Foundation that the latest European model (ECMWF) simulation shows that from now until the 3rd, the front will move away and weaken, and the weather will turn sunny to partly cloudy, with occasional localized brief rainfall possible in mountainous areas in the afternoon.
He said that temperatures will rise daily. Today, it will be slightly warm during the day and cool in the morning and evening. Tomorrow and the 3rd, it will be warm and hot during the day across all areas. It is expected that today's temperatures will range from 16 to 28 degrees Celsius in the north, 17 to 31 degrees in the center, 18 to 34 degrees in the south, and 18 to 30 degrees in the east.
Wu Derong stated that the latest model simulation shows that on the 4th and 5th, the first plum rain front of the rainy season (May and June) will affect Taiwan, bringing localized rain or thunderstorms to central and northern areas. Southern areas may also experience localized brief showers or thunderstorms, and temperatures will drop across all areas, with the north turning cooler. From the daytime on the 6th to the 7th, the front will weaken and move away, and the weather will improve across all areas, becoming warm and hot during the day.
He said that the latest European model simulation has been adjusted to show that on the 8th, within the warm air mass ahead of the front, all areas will be sunny to partly cloudy and hot like summer, with localized brief showers or thunderstorms possible in mountainous areas in the afternoon. On the 9th and 10th, the weather will change due to the second plum rain front. The simulations from various international models are inconsistent in the later period and will continue to be adjusted, so continuous observation is needed. (Editor: Li Mingzong) 1150501
