TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwan sees temperatures rise on Wednesday (March 11) as cold air weakens, with highs reaching 20 to 27 degrees Celsius (68 to 80.6°F) across the island, the Central Weather Administration (CWA, 中央氣象署) reports. Decreased moisture brings improved weather conditions islandwide after days of chilly temperatures. Experts advise residents to remain cautious of cooler temperatures caused by radiative cooling during the night and early morning hours, particularly in open areas.
Another cold snap hits Taiwan from Thursday to Friday (March 12-13), with temperatures dropping again, the CWA forecasts. High temperatures range between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius (64.4 to 77°F) with lows from 11 to 14 degrees Celsius (51.8 to 57.2°F). The administration emphasizes potential for significant cooling in coastal, mountainous, and rural areas due to the strong cold air mass and radiative cooling effects.
Residents should prepare for mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies during this period as dry air dominates the weather across Taiwan. The east may experience slightly more cloud cover with sporadic rain showers possible in some areas throughout the week. The cold air gradually weakens as the weekend (March 14-15) approaches, leading to rising temperatures and mostly clear conditions across the island.
Experts urge the public to remain vigilant about safety along the coast, where strong winds and high waves could pose risks despite the overall dry conditions. Authorities recommend taking necessary precautions for outdoor and maritime activities during this period. Residents should stay informed and prepared for the changing conditions as Taiwan experiences fluctuating weather patterns. ◼
