The Yushan Weather Station in Taipei recorded a temperature of minus 6.6 degrees Celsius and dense fog with visibility down to 50 meters. Rime ice appeared on the North Peak of Yushan due to the cold spell. The Central Weather Bureau (CWA) warned that Yushan could experience more rime ice formations and below-freezing temperatures. The CWA also predicted significant rainfall in northern and central mountainous areas, as well as in the Yilan-Hualien region, due to the influence of the northeast monsoon and moisture from the southern coast of China. Snowfall above 3,500 meters is expected in the central mountain ranges. Daytime temperatures in northern Taiwan are around 20 degrees Celsius, dropping to 15-16 degrees at night. Outside the north, nighttime temperatures are expected to range between 17 and 20 degrees. Residents and visitors in affected areas are advised to dress warmly and stay updated on weather conditions, especially those planning to traverse or visit elevated mountain regions.

Taiwan faces a 4.5% increase in domestic flight ticket prices due to a surge in global oil prices, resulting in an average additional cost of NT＄95 per ticket. Kinmen residents, who frequently travel to and from Taiwan, are particularly affected, with Mandarin Airlines’ Taipei to Kinmen route experiencing a one-way fare increase of 7.4%, equivalent to NT＄182. This price rise will also impact tourists planning to fly domestically during the New Year’s holiday, making air travel more expensive. As a result, authorities expect a significant increase in road traffic during the New Year’s Eve celebrations. To alleviate transportation challenges during the festive season, Taiwan will implement toll-free periods on freeways from midnight to 5 a.m. The Taiwan Railways Administration and Taiwan High-Speed Rail (THSR) will also increase service frequencies to accommodate the expected passenger volume. THSR has added 105 services and will continue to offer discounts for college students and early bird promotions. Taiwan Railways has scheduled 116 extra trains, anticipating a potential peak of over 800,000 passengers in a single day. However, ticket sales for child-friendly carriages have been temporarily suspended. Additional train services during the New Year transportation period will be available for purchase starting from midnight on December 1, aiming to alleviate travel congestion during the holidays.

Daytime temperatures will drop to 20-22 degrees Celsius in the north and northeast, with a slight increase to 21-23 degrees on Saturday. The monsoon is expected to weaken by Sunday, but another surge is anticipated by Monday evening. During stronger monsoon periods, air quality may be affected, so individuals with respiratory concerns should take precautions.
