(Central News Agency reporter Chang Hsiung-feng, Taipei, 6th) The Central Weather Administration stated today that southern Taiwan (Tainan, Kaohsiung, Pingtung) should brace for localized temperatures above 36 degrees Celsius tomorrow, the 7th. On the 8th, a front and strengthened northeast monsoon will bring rain across the entire island. The weather is expected to gradually stabilize by the 10th (Mother's Day), turning cloudy to sunny. In addition, minor Typhoon Hagupit formed this afternoon but will not affect Taiwan.
The Central Weather Administration today issued a high-temperature warning, indicating clear and hot weather. Tomorrow, around noon, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, and Pingtung County will be under a yellow warning for localized temperatures above 36 degrees Celsius.
Forecaster Cheng Chieh-jen told the Central News Agency that tomorrow, most areas will be cloudy to sunny, with scattered afternoon thunderstorms in greater Taipei and mountainous regions. Temperatures will be relatively high, with eastern Taiwan reaching about 29-30 degrees Celsius and western Taiwan 31-33 degrees Celsius.
Cheng Chieh-jen stated that on the 8th, a front will pass, and the northeast monsoon will strengthen, bringing rain across Taiwan. Northern areas will experience scattered showers or thunderstorms, central and eastern Taiwan will have localized scattered showers or thunderstorms, and other areas will have isolated scattered showers. On the 9th, due to the influence of the northeast monsoon, moisture will remain abundant, bringing localized scattered showers to northern and Yilan areas and mountainous regions in central Taiwan, while other areas will be cloudy with isolated scattered afternoon thunderstorms.
Cheng Chieh-jen mentioned that starting from the 10th, the northeast monsoon will weaken, and the weather will be relatively stable until the 13th, shifting to easterly to southeasterly winds. Northern Taiwan, eastern Taiwan, and the Hengchun Peninsula will experience localized scattered showers, while areas south of Hsinchu will be cloudy to sunny with localized scattered afternoon showers.
Regarding temperatures, Cheng Chieh-jen said that tomorrow will be hot. On the 8th, due to rainfall and the strengthening northeast monsoon, temperatures in northern Taiwan will slightly drop to 26-28 degrees Celsius, while central and southern Taiwan will see little change. On the 9th and 10th, northern Taiwan will have high temperatures of about 23-27 degrees Celsius, central Taiwan 28-30 degrees Celsius, and southern Taiwan around 32 degrees Celsius. Starting from the 11th, temperatures in northern Taiwan will rise again, with all areas potentially reaching above 30 degrees Celsius.
On another note, Cheng Chieh-jen pointed out that minor Typhoon Hagupit formed near Guam today and is continuously moving westward. It is predicted to weaken into a tropical depression around the eastern waters of the Philippines on the 10th and 11th, with no direct impact on Taiwan.
Cheng Chieh-jen reminded that from tomorrow until the early morning of the 8th, Matsu and central Taiwan are prone to low clouds or localized fog, affecting visibility. (Editor: Huang Ming-hsi) 1150506
