Central News Agency (CNA) reporter Yu Hsiao-han, Taipei, 7th – The Central Weather Administration (CWA) announced that a front will pass through tomorrow, followed by a strengthening northeast monsoon. The windward northern and eastern regions should be aware of rainfall. From the 10th, moisture will decrease, and a relatively stable weather pattern will continue until the 14th. CWA forecaster Liu Pei-teng told the media that with the front passing tomorrow, the windward northern and eastern regions will experience brief showers or thunderstorms. Due to the weak structure of the front, rainfall will be localized, but the subsequent northeast monsoon will bring moisture, resulting in rain in the northern and eastern regions. The Greater Taipei area and eastern parts may experience heavier rainfall, while the central and southern regions will have more stable weather, with scattered showers in mountainous areas. Liu Pei-teng pointed out that from the 10th, moisture will decrease, and the weather will largely return to a stable pattern. There will be no significant system affecting the weather until the 14th, with attention mainly on afternoon showers. Regarding temperatures, Liu Pei-teng stated that after the front passes, influenced by the northeast monsoon, high temperatures in northern Taiwan tomorrow and the day after will be around 23 to 24 degrees Celsius, with lows between 20 and 21 degrees, making it relatively cool and comfortable. Central and southern regions will remain above 30 degrees, with temperatures gradually rising from the 10th. According to CWA observations, Typhoon Hagupit's center was located at 7.8 degrees North latitude and 143.2 degrees East longitude at 2 PM today, moving west-northwest at a speed of 17 kilometers per hour. Liu Pei-teng noted that Hagupit is far from Taiwan and will not affect the island. (Edited by Chang Ya-ching) 1150507. Stand with facts, your sponsorship is the power to protect press freedom.
