(Central News Agency reporter Chang Hsiung-feng, Taipei, 6th) Meteorological expert Wu Derong stated that Typhoon Hagupit is expected to form tomorrow, posing no threat to Taiwan. The weather will be stable and temperatures will rise from this morning until tomorrow; a front will affect Taiwan on the 8th and 9th, bringing rain to central and northern areas and southern mountain regions; from the 10th (Mother's Day) to the 12th, the front will move away, and the weather will stabilize.
Wu Derong, adjunct associate professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at National Central University, stated today in his column "Le Tian Ji Jiao Shi" (Unveiling Heavenly Secrets Classroom) for the Foundation for Meteorological Application Promotion that the latest Central Weather Administration's "Typhoon Path Potential Forecast Map" shows a tropical depression in the waters southeast of Guam, moving westward. It is expected to develop into the 5th typhoon of the year, "Hagupit," tomorrow. On the 10th and 11th, it will reach the waters east of the Philippines and then weaken back into a tropical depression, posing no threat to Taiwan.
Wu Derong stated that the latest European model simulation shows that from this morning, all areas will turn sunny to partly cloudy, with occasional brief showers in mountainous areas and eastern Taiwan in the afternoon. Temperatures will rise across all areas, feeling slightly warm during the day and cool in the morning and evening. Tomorrow will be sunny and stable, with temperatures continuing to rise, feeling warm during the day in all areas, and occasional localized brief showers in mountainous areas and eastern Taiwan in the afternoon.
Wu Derong pointed out that the second wave of the plum rain front will affect Taiwan on the 8th and 9th, bringing localized showers or thunderstorms to central and northern Taiwan and southern mountain areas, with temperatures dropping. From the daytime on the 10th to the 12th, the front will weaken and move away, and the weather will stabilize across all areas with rising temperatures, and occasional brief showers near mountainous areas in the afternoon and in eastern Taiwan.
Wu Derong said that the latest European model simulation shows that from the 13th to the 15th, the front will linger in the northern sea, and Taiwan will be within a warm air mass, with warm daytime temperatures and occasional convective development in the afternoon. He noted that the latter stages of various international models are inconsistent and will continue to adjust, so continued observation is necessary. (Editor: Li Hengshan) 1150506
