Temperatures will remain warm across much of Taiwan on Wednesday, but an incoming weather system will bring cooler weather and scattered rain showers in northern areas as the country returns from a long holiday weekend on Thursday, according to the Central Weather Bureau (CWB).
Daytime temperatures will reach 30-32 degrees Celsius in western Taiwan on Wednesday, with mostly cloudy to sunny skies forecast except in the north and the east, where there is a possibility of sporadic rain, CWB forecaster Yeh Chih-chun (???) told CNA.
From Thursday, however, an incoming weather front will cause temperatures to drop slightly nationwide, while bringing scattered rain showers to the north, according to Yeh.
As the front settles in on Friday, there is a chance of rain across Taiwan and temperatures in the north will turn noticeably colder, with daytime highs remaining around 19-22 degrees and overnight lows dropping to 16-17 degrees, Yeh said.
Temperatures will start gradually warming again from Sunday, with dry and mostly sunny conditions forecast for the beginning of next week, the CWB’s extended forecast shows.
Meanwhile, Yeh said, the CWB is currently tracking a weather system developing in waters near Guam, which could potentially strengthen into a tropical depression by this weekend.
Although the disturbance appears unlikely to become a tropical storm, if it does, it would be the first such storm in the Northwest Pacific Ocean this year, Yeh said.
