(Central News Agency reporter Chang Hsiung-feng, Taipei, 10th) The Central Weather Administration today issued a high temperature alert for the southern regions of Tainan, Kaohsiung, and Pingtung, warning of local temperatures exceeding 36 degrees Celsius. Meteorologist Wu De-rong stated that while the weather is stable today and tomorrow, a new front is brewing and approaching the northern seas starting on the 12th, expecting atmospheric instability until next weekend.
The Ministry of Transportation and Communications Central Weather Administration issued a high temperature warning, indicating hot and sweltering weather. Tainan City is under an orange warning for continuous temperatures above 36 degrees Celsius around noon today, while Kaohsiung City and Pingtung County are under a yellow warning, cautioning about temperatures exceeding 36 degrees.
Wu De-rong stated in his "Xie Tian Ji Classroom" column for the Meteorological Applications Promotion Foundation that the latest European model simulations show the tail end of today's front gradually dissipating. Scattered, brief rains are still expected along the north coast, eastern regions, and mountainous areas in the afternoon, with weather gradually stabilizing and temperatures rising.
Wu De-rong added that tomorrow, most areas will turn sunny with some clouds, and mountainous areas will still experience scattered, brief afternoon showers. On the 12th and 13th, the third wave of the plum rain season front will be brewing near northern Taiwan and gradually shifting southward, bringing localized, brief showers to the northern, eastern, and central regions in sequence.
Wu De-rong pointed out that on the 14th, the front will gradually move northward to the northern seas, but the atmosphere will remain very unstable, with localized showers or thunderstorms in areas north of central Taiwan. On the 15th and 16th, the front will move southward again; although its structure will be loose, strong convection is still expected to develop near Taiwan.
Wu De-rong mentioned that from the 17th to the 19th, the front will move away, and the weather will gradually return to stable conditions, with scattered, brief afternoon showers still expected in mountainous areas. He noted that there are significant discrepancies in the long-term simulations of various models, and continuous adjustments are expected, so continued observation is necessary.
In addition, Wu De-rong pointed out that the latest Central Weather Administration's "Typhoon Path Potential Forecast Map" shows that Typhoon Hagupit (No. 5) in the eastern seas of the Philippines is continuing to move west-northwest and is expected to weaken into a tropical depression tomorrow, with a tendency to gradually dissipate, posing no threat to Taiwan.
