(Central News Agency reporter Wu Hsin-yun, Taipei, 2nd) The Central Weather Administration stated that temperatures will rise slightly tomorrow during the day, with high temperatures in western Taiwan ranging from 31 to 34 degrees Celsius. However, a plum rain front will approach in the evening, bringing short-term showers or thunderstorms to central and northern Taiwan first. The front will pass on the 4th, with continuous rainfall, and the weather will not stabilize until the 6th.
Central Weather Administration forecaster Liu Pei-teng told the Central News Agency that tomorrow's daytime weather will be largely similar to today's, but temperatures will rise slightly. High temperatures in western Taiwan will be around 31 to 34 degrees, with Tainan and Taitung possibly experiencing localized high temperatures of 36 degrees, and a foehn phenomenon in Taitung, generally warm weather.
Liu Pei-teng said that the scope of afternoon thunderstorms tomorrow will also be wider than today, including mountainous areas across the country and some plains in northern Taiwan, which may experience afternoon thunderstorms.
However, Liu Pei-teng said that the plum rain front will start to affect Taiwan tomorrow evening, when central and northern areas will first turn into a pattern of localized short-term showers or thunderstorms. Rainfall will be more significant when the front passes on the 4th. Although the front will have passed on the 5th, rainfall will continue due to the influence of the cloud and rain system from southern China.
Liu Pei-teng pointed out that the rainfall period will be from tomorrow evening to the 5th, and from the 6th to the 8th, the weather will be relatively stable, turning into an easterly or southerly wind pattern.
Liu Pei-teng said that the next plum rain front is expected to affect Taiwan from the 9th, but similar to the plum rain front tomorrow evening, the intensity of rainfall brought by both will be ordinary.
Regarding temperatures, Liu Pei-teng said that when the front starts to affect Taiwan tomorrow evening, the overall temperature will drop, with high temperatures in northern Taiwan around 24 to 25 degrees. From late night on the 4th to early morning on the 5th, low temperatures in northern Taiwan may drop to 18 to 19 degrees. Although there will still be moisture from the southern China cloud and rain system during the day on the 5th, the cold air from the northeast monsoon will weaken, and temperatures will gradually rebound. After the weather stabilizes on the 6th, high temperatures will be around 27 to 30 degrees. (Edited by Chang Ming-kun) 1150502
