(Central News Agency reporter Chang Hsiung-Feng, Taipei 13th) The Central Weather Administration stated that tomorrow (14th), affected by a frontal system, the entire island should watch for showers or thunderstorms, with heavier rainfall likely in mountainous areas in the afternoon; the weather will stabilize from the 16th, and current data shows that conditions will be relatively stable across Taiwan until the 23rd, feeling like summer.
Lin Ting-Yi, a forecaster from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications Central Weather Administration, told the Central News Agency that from tonight to tomorrow, affected by the third wave of the plum rain frontal system, there will be localized showers or thunderstorms across various regions, with more noticeable rainfall in central and northern Taiwan. Afternoon mountainous areas should watch for localized heavier rainfall.
Lin Ting-Yi pointed out that the hottest area today was Yujing District, Tainan City, reaching 37.1 degrees Celsius. Tomorrow, as the frontal system moves southward, temperatures will drop across all areas. It is estimated that Greater Taipei will have a high of about 25 degrees, eastern Taiwan about 24 to 26 degrees, central Taiwan 29 degrees, southern Taiwan 31 degrees, and northern and northeastern Taiwan will be relatively cooler.
Furthermore, Lin Ting-Yi stated that on the 15th, the frontal system will move south to the Bashi Channel, with brief showers in eastern Taiwan and localized heavier rainfall, while western Taiwan will experience localized brief showers. The weather will stabilize from the 16th, with daily high temperatures rising. Eastern Taiwan and the Hengchun Peninsula will still have localized brief showers, while other areas will be mostly cloudy to sunny, with localized brief thunderstorms in central and southern Taiwan and other mountainous areas in the afternoon.
Lin Ting-Yi said that current data indicates that before the 23rd, the Pacific High will be relatively strong, and the weather across various regions will be stable, with highs likely to exceed 30 degrees Celsius, feeling similar to summer. (Editor: Wu Su-Jou) 1150513
