(Central News Agency reporter Chang Hsiung-feng, Taipei, 4th) The Central Weather Bureau stated that tomorrow, affected by the South China rain belt, rainfall will continue in central and northern regions and Yilan. Daytime temperatures will be slightly cooler, with northern areas and central mountainous regions bracing for localized heavy rain. The weather will stabilize on the 6th and 7th, but another front and strengthened northeast monsoon will arrive on the 8th and 9th, bringing rain and temperature drops to central and northern regions.
Forecaster Huang En-hong of the Central Weather Bureau told the Central News Agency that tomorrow, affected by the South China rain belt, there will be localized brief showers across all areas, with more continuous rainfall in central and northern regions and Yilan. Northern areas and central mountainous regions should watch out for localized heavy rain; rainfall is expected to ease in the evening.
Huang En-hong stated that the weather will stabilize on the 6th and 7th, with only localized brief showers in eastern regions and the Hengchun Peninsula, while other areas will be mostly cloudy to sunny, with localized brief showers in mountainous areas in the afternoon. On the 8th and 9th, another front will pass and the northeast monsoon will slightly strengthen, bringing localized brief showers or thunderstorms to central and northern regions, and localized brief showers to eastern regions and the Hengchun Peninsula.
Huang En-hong pointed out that on the 10th (Mother's Day), affected by the northeast monsoon, northern and eastern regions and the Hengchun Peninsula will experience localized brief showers, while other areas will be mostly cloudy to sunny, with localized brief showers in the afternoon. On the 11th, the northeast monsoon will weaken, and most areas will be mostly cloudy to sunny, with localized brief showers in eastern regions and the Hengchun Peninsula, and localized brief showers in mountainous areas in the afternoon.
Regarding temperatures, Huang En-hong said that this week, tonight to early tomorrow morning will be the coolest, with low temperatures of approximately 18-19 degrees Celsius in northern regions and Yilan, and 20-23 degrees in other areas. Tomorrow, daytime high temperatures will be around 22-24 degrees in northern regions and Yilan, 24-27 degrees in central regions, and approximately 30 degrees in southern regions.
Huang En-hong mentioned that on the 6th and 7th, as the weather stabilizes, high temperatures in northern regions may rise to above 30 degrees Celsius. From the 8th to the 10th, due to rain and the strengthened northeast monsoon, high temperatures in northern regions and Yilan will slightly drop to 25-27 degrees, with little change in other areas.
Huang En-hong reminded that from the evening of the 6th to the morning of the 8th, the Matsu area is prone to low clouds or localized fog, affecting visibility. Current data suggests that a tropical system may develop near Guam this week, and as predictions among various countries still differ, the Central Weather Bureau will continue to monitor it.
