(Central News Agency reporter Chang Hsiung-feng, Taipei 10th) The Central Weather Administration stated that tomorrow's weather will be stable, with temperatures in all regions expected to reach above 30 degrees Celsius. However, from May 12th to 15th, due to the influence of a stationary front, the weather will turn cloudy with localized brief showers or thunderstorms. Rainfall will be most significant on May 13th and 14th, with central and northern regions advised to prepare for heavier downpours.
Tseng Chao-cheng, a forecaster from the Central Weather Administration, told the Central News Agency that tomorrow, eastern Taiwan and the Hengchun Peninsula will experience localized brief showers, while Keelung's north coast and the greater Taipei area will still have scattered brief showers. Other regions will be cloudy to sunny, with localized brief showers in mountainous areas in the afternoon.
Tseng Chao-cheng stated that from May 12th to 15th, Taiwan will be affected by a stationary front. On the 12th, central and northern Taiwan, Yilan, and Hualien will have localized brief showers or thunderstorms. The 13th and 14th will see the most significant rainfall in the coming week, with rain across Taiwan. Central and northern regions should prepare for heavier rainfall, while other areas will experience localized brief showers or thunderstorms. On the 15th, the front will move south, bringing brief showers or thunderstorms to central and southern regions, and localized brief showers or thunderstorms to other areas.
Tseng Chao-cheng pointed out that on the 16th and 17th, the wind will shift to an easterly direction, making eastern Taiwan and the Hengchun Peninsula prone to localized brief showers. Other regions will be cloudy to sunny, with scattered afternoon thunderstorms in mountainous areas.
Regarding temperatures, Tseng Chao-cheng mentioned that the north will be slightly hotter tomorrow than today, with highs around 30 degrees Celsius. Central and southern regions will see little change, with temperatures near mountainous areas around 33 to 35 degrees Celsius, and some localized areas still needing to watch out for highs above 36 degrees Celsius. From the 12th until next weekend, due to more clouds and rain, northern highs will drop slightly to 25 to 27 degrees Celsius, with little change in other regions. Lows in all regions during the night and early morning will be around 20 to 23 degrees Celsius.
Tseng Chao-cheng reminded that tomorrow morning, areas north of Tainan, and from tomorrow night to the early morning of the 12th, the Matsu area will experience localized fog or low clouds, affecting visibility. He also warned of long waves along the coast of Hualien, Taitung, and the Hengchun Peninsula tomorrow and on the 12th.
Tseng Chao-cheng said that this year's 5th typhoon, Hagibis, weakened to a tropical depression this afternoon over the waters east of the Philippines and will not directly affect Taiwan. Currently, there are no signs of other tropical systems developing in the coming week. (Editor: Li Hsi-chang) 1150510
