Weakening monsoon brings agreeable weather across Taiwan
The weakening northeastern monsoon in Taiwan has resulted in temperatures staying above 17 degrees Celsius in northern Taiwan on Wednesday. The lowest morning temperature recorded was 16.7 degrees in Huwei, Yunlin County. As the monsoon shifts to a more easterly wind, cloud cover and localized short-lived showers are expected in the Northern and Northeastern coasts, as well as the Eastern half of the region. However, the western half of Taiwan will experience improved weather with sunny to partly cloudy skies. A front system on Thursday could increase cloud amounts and bring precipitation to areas north of Taichung and in the eastern half of the country, particularly in mountainous regions. Following the front, a southbound Northeast monsoon may lead to a temperature drop to 16-18 degrees in urban areas and possibly lower in suburbs at night. The arid and chilly influence will persist on Friday, with high temperatures ranging from 18-19 degrees in the north, 22-24 degrees in central Taiwan, 25-26 degrees in the south, and 21-22 degrees in Hualien and Taitung. This weather pattern is expected to continue until next Wednesday, providing Taiwan with a reliable forecast.

Strongest northeast monsoon of season to hit Taiwan
The strongest northeast monsoon of the season is set to reach Taiwan by Friday evening and will last for four days, according to meteorologist Wu Der-rong. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions for the cold. The Central Weather Administration predicts mostly clear to partly cloudy skies on Wednesday, with high temperatures ranging from 30 to 32 degrees Celsius in the western regions and 27 to 29 degrees in the eastern regions. The northeast monsoon weakening will result in concentrated rain in the eastern regions and the Hengchun Peninsula, with minimal precipitation elsewhere. Wu attributes the stable, sunny weather and significant rise in temperature from Wednesday through Friday to the influence of "Indian summer". However, Wu warns of significantly colder weather by next week, with Taipei’s minimum temperature potentially dropping to around 18 degrees and lows across the flatlands likely to dip below 15 degrees.
