Taipei‘s chilly spell to break with warmth on horizon (TVBS News)
TAIPEI (TVBS News) — As Taipei endures a chilly and rainy Tuesday (Dec. 12), with temperatures lingering below 22 degrees Celsius, WeatherRisk meteorologist Ko Yu-ning brings a silver lining forecasting a brief warm spell for the coming Thursday and Friday.
Following a passing weather front that has brought a period of cooler weather, the city is currently locked in a damp embrace with the northeast monsoon, making the weather wet and cool.
Rainfall is expected to decrease from tonight into tomorrow morning, yet temperatures will continue to drop to an estimated 18 degrees in urban areas, with the central and southern parts seeing a 1 to 2-degree fall from the previous day.
A shift in the winds from a brisk northeast monsoon to an easterly flow is expected to bring some much-needed sunshine to western Taipei by tomorrow, with daytime highs potentially bouncing back to 23-24 degrees.
From Thursday to Friday, a change to a southerly wind will usher in warmer air, though morning fog or low clouds are likely on the western side of the island. Visibility might be reduced by haze as local pollutants concentrate.
A new cold front arriving on Saturday will bring colder air from the north with its rain, causing temperatures in the north to plummet to lows of 12-13 degrees over the weekend.
On Sunday, daytime highs in the central and southern parts of Taiwan are projected only to reach 21-23 degrees, with noticeable temperature dips.
During the brief respite on Monday and Tuesday morning, conditions will marginally improve, with reduced rainfall and a slight uptick in temperature, but the north will stay cool with highs between 15 and 19 degrees.
The weather will take another turn by late Tuesday as another, albeit weaker, front approaches from the north, bringing with it more rain and an even stronger cold air mass, dragging lows down to 11-12 degrees.
By next Wednesday, a drop in moisture promises drier conditions, but nighttime radiational cooling could bring western parts of the island to lows of around 10 degrees. Nevertheless, the strength of this cold snap could still change, keeping residents on their toes.
