TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwan is enjoying stable weather conditions on Thursday (March 27) with sunny to partly cloudy skies across most regions and temperatures reaching between 30-34 degrees Celsius, according to the Central Weather Administration (CWA, 氣象署). However, meteorologists warn of an imminent weather pattern shift beginning tomorrow as an approaching weather front and strengthening northeast monsoon will bring increased precipitation and lower temperatures across the region. Weather officials advise residents to prepare for the upcoming wet spell, which marks a significant change from the pleasant conditions experienced in recent days.
The Hengchun Peninsula (恆春半島) in the far south and higher elevation regions in central and southern Taiwan might experience sporadic light showers today, though these will be limited in scope and duration. Meteorologists note that robust southwesterly winds will continue to usher warm air across the island, sustaining the balmy daytime conditions. Evening temperatures will fall considerably to between 20-22 degrees Celsius, creating a notable temperature difference between day and night that residents should account for when planning outdoor activities.
Friday will mark the beginning of the weather transition as the approaching front passes over the island. Northern and northeastern regions will be the first to experience cooling temperatures, with central and eastern areas following suit as the day progresses. Residents in northern Taiwan, particularly along the Keelung coastline, should anticipate isolated showers or possible thunderstorms. The eastern portions of the island will likewise experience intermittent precipitation, while other regions may encounter occasional scattered rainfall as the weather system advances across Taiwan.
The weekend forecast indicates continued influence from the intensifying northeast monsoon, maintaining cooler temperatures across northern, northeastern, and eastern Taiwan. Other parts of the island will experience notably cooler conditions during morning and evening hours. Weather models predict that cloud formations and precipitation currently over South China will migrate eastward from Saturday evening through Monday, substantially increasing rain probabilities. Northern and northeastern regions should prepare for potentially heavy rainfall episodes as this weather system affects the island during the latter part of the weekend and into early next week.
