(Central News Agency reporter Zhang Xiongfeng, Taipei, 5th) The Central Weather Administration today issued a heavy rain warning for mountainous areas of Miaoli and Hualien. Weather expert Wu Der-Rong stated that there will be rain across Taiwan today, with heavier rainfall in mountainous areas, and temperatures will slightly decrease everywhere. The weather will stabilize tomorrow, and the next front is expected to affect Taiwan from the 8th to the 9th, bringing localized showers or thunderstorms to central and northern Taiwan and southern mountainous areas.
The Central Weather Administration today issued a heavy rain warning, as a cloud system from southern China moves eastward, warning of localized heavy rain in mountainous areas of Miaoli and Hualien during the day, cautioning about sudden heavy downpours, and urging vigilance against landslides and falling rocks in mountainous areas.
Wu Der-Rong, an adjunct associate professor at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, National Central University, stated today in his column "Leak the Heavenly Secret Classroom" for the Meteorological Applications Promotion Foundation that the latest European model simulations show that Taiwan will still be affected by cloud systems today, with localized showers or thunderstorms in central and northern Taiwan, and localized brief showers or thunderstorms in southern Taiwan, with heavier rain in mountainous areas. Temperatures will slightly decrease everywhere, with northern Taiwan being cooler.
Wu Der-Rong pointed out that from tomorrow morning until the 7th, the cloud system will weaken and move away, and the weather will stabilize across Taiwan, with temperatures gradually rising daily. There will be occasional localized brief rainfall in mountainous areas and eastern Taiwan in the afternoon. From the afternoon of the 8th until the 9th, the second plum rain front will affect Taiwan, bringing localized showers or thunderstorms to central and northern Taiwan and southern mountainous areas, with temperatures slightly decreasing.
Wu Der-Rong stated that from daytime on the 10th (Mother's Day) until the 14th, the front will weaken and move away, and the weather will improve across Taiwan, with temperatures rising. There will be occasional brief rainfall in areas near mountains in the afternoon. Since the late-stage simulations of various national models are inconsistent and will continue to be adjusted, continued observation is necessary. (Edited by Li Hen-Shan) 1150505
