(Central News Agency reporter Chang Hsiung-feng, Taipei, May 5) The Central Weather Administration stated that from tomorrow daytime until the 7th, the weather will gradually stabilize, but on the 8th and 9th, it will turn rainy across Taiwan, with slightly cooler temperatures in northern, Yilan, and Hualien regions. From the 10th (Mother's Day), the weather will start to stabilize, and is expected to be mostly cloudy to sunny across all areas until next week.
The Central Weather Administration today issued a tropical depression formation alert. Forecaster Huang En-hung told a Central News Agency reporter that the tropical depression is currently located near Guam and is expected to continue moving westward, reaching the waters southeast of the Philippines around the weekend. There is a chance it may strengthen during its movement, but the environment southeast of the Philippines is not suitable for its development.
Huang En-hung mentioned that if this tropical depression strengthens into a typhoon, it would be this year's 5th typhoon, Hagupit. However, the extent of its strengthening remains to be observed, and it is expected to weaken again when it reaches the waters southeast of the Philippines, so its impact on Taiwan is anticipated to be minor.
Regarding the weather for the coming week, Huang En-hung stated that from tonight to tomorrow morning, northern areas and central mountainous regions will still experience localized brief showers. From tomorrow daytime until the 7th, the weather will gradually stabilize, with mostly cloudy to sunny conditions in western Taiwan, and localized brief showers in eastern Taiwan.
Huang En-hung pointed out that on the 8th, a front will pass and the northeast monsoon will slightly strengthen, bringing localized brief showers or thunderstorms to central and northern areas, and localized brief showers or thunderstorms to other regions. On the 9th, influenced by the South China cloud and rain system and the northeast monsoon, northern and eastern Taiwan and central mountainous regions will have localized brief showers.
Huang En-hung added that on the 10th (Mother's Day), with only the influence of the northeast monsoon, the weather will gradually stabilize. Northern and eastern Taiwan and the Hengchun Peninsula will experience localized brief showers, while other regions will be mostly cloudy to sunny. On the 11th and 12th, the northeast monsoon will weaken, and the weather will be stable, with most areas being cloudy to sunny, and localized brief afternoon showers in mountainous areas.
In terms of temperature, Huang En-hung said that the warmest day in the coming week will be the 7th, with high temperatures rising above 30 degrees Celsius across all areas, generally around 31 to 33 degrees. On the 8th and 9th, high temperatures will slightly drop due to rain, with northern, Yilan, and Hualien regions experiencing around 24 to 26 degrees. From the 10th, temperatures will slowly rise, and high temperatures in the north are expected to return above 30 degrees Celsius on the 11th and 12th.
Huang En-hung reminded that from tomorrow night to the early morning of the 8th, the Matsu region is prone to low clouds or localized fog, affecting visibility. (Edited by Chang Ming-kun) 1150505
