Northern Taiwan noticeably cooler; Wu Der-rong: Northeastern localized brief showers
According to meteorologist Wu Der-rong, Northern Taiwan is experiencing cooler temperatures due to a frontal system, with localized brief showers expected in northern and eastern Taiwan. While the weather is expected to stabilize over the weekend, another plum rain front is anticipated on the 12th and 13th, bringing rain to northern and eastern regions again.

(Central News Agency reporter Wu Hsin-yun, Taipei, 9th) Meteorologist Wu Der-rong said today that due to a frontal system, Northern Taiwan is noticeably cooler. From today until early tomorrow morning, there will be localized brief showers in northern and eastern Taiwan. The front will weaken tomorrow, and the weather will stabilize. Another plum rain front is expected on the 12th and 13th, bringing rain to northern and eastern regions.
Wu Der-rong stated in his column "洩天機教室" (Heaven's Secrets Classroom) on the Meteorology Application and Promotion Foundation today that the latest European model simulation shows that from today until early tomorrow morning, northern and eastern Taiwan will experience localized brief showers due to the frontal cloud system, and there is also a chance of scattered brief rain in the mountainous areas of central and southern Taiwan. Northern Taiwan will be noticeably cooler.
Wu Der-rong said that from daytime tomorrow until the 11th, the frontal cloud system will weaken and move away, the weather in various regions will stabilize, and temperatures will rise. There is still a chance of localized brief rainfall in the eastern region and mountainous areas in the afternoon. On the 12th and 13th, another plum rain front will form near northern Taiwan, bringing localized brief showers to northern and eastern Taiwan.
Wu Der-rong pointed out that the latest European model simulation shows that from the 14th to the 17th, the front will gradually move northward, and Taiwan will be within a warm air mass. However, there will be a lot of moisture, the atmosphere will be very unstable, and it will be prone to rainfall. Since the simulations of various countries' models show significant differences in the latter period and will continue to adjust, further observation is necessary.
Wu Der-rong also mentioned that both the latest CWA (Central Weather Administration) "Typhoon Path Potential Forecast Map" and the latest European model ensemble forecast map show that Tropical Storm Hagibis (Typhoon No. 5) is located southwest of Yap Island and is moving northwest. On the 11th and 12th, it will move to the seas east of the Philippines and weaken into a tropical depression, with a tendency to gradually dissipate and turn northeast, posing no threat to Taiwan.
