Eastern Taiwan to brace for thunderstorms; meteorologist warns of weekend afternoon convection

Meteorologist Wu Der-romg noted a southward-moving front will bring localized thunderstorms to eastern Taiwan today. As the front shifts to the Bashi Channel, the weather will improve over the weekend during the junior high school exams, though afternoon showers remain possible. Temperatures on Sunday will feel like summer. Next week is expected to be stable and hot as the front moves away. Models suggest the next major plum rain front will not arrive for more than 10 days, requiring continued observation.
