Cold front in Taiwan linked to fatal cardiac arrests
A cold front in Taiwan has been linked to five fatal cases of Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) in the Keelung region. Victims’ ages ranged from 52 to 97. The Keelung City Fire Department reported a total of five emergency rescue cases of OHCA, with two males and three females affected. It is unclear whether the cold weather was the cause of these emergencies. Temperatures dropped to 6-8 degrees Celsius on Tuesday morning, prompting the fire department to urge the public to prioritize warmth and guard against the risks posed by the low temperatures. The Central Weather Administration (CWA) reported temperatures of 6-8 degrees in areas north of central Taiwan and Yilan, and 9-12 degrees in southern Taiwan and Hualien-Taitung regions. The whole island may experience regional short-term rain due to moisture from southern China, with heavier rainfall expected in Keelung, the northern coast, and the mountainous area of Taipei city. New Taipei, Taipei, and Yi-lan may also be affected by heavy rains.

Northeast monsoon brings rain to Keelung, Greater Taipei
The Central Weather Administration has issued a heavy rain advisory for Keelung City and New Taipei City due to the influence of the northeast monsoon. However, rain chances are expected to decrease as the day progresses. Meanwhile, conditions south of Hsinchu will remain mostly cloudy to sunny. Temperature variations are significant, with morning and evening lows ranging from 16 to 19 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs anticipated to reach 21 to 24 degrees in the north and Yilan, and 26 to 28 degrees in other areas. Starting Monday, a drier northeast monsoon will bring cooler air, resulting in clearer skies in the western part of the country and a halt in brief rain in the east. Stable and sunny conditions are predicted across the region, but residents should be mindful of the substantial temperature differences between day and night, with low temperatures potentially falling to around 12 degrees across the plains of Taiwan and lows near 16 degrees in Taipei.

Taiwan expects stable weather with isolated heavy rains
The Central Weather Administration (CWA) predicts stable weather conditions across Taiwan, with mostly cloudy to clear skies for the first half of Friday (Nov.10). However, a weather front is expected to pass through in the afternoon, bringing isolated heavy rain to the north coast of Keelung and mountainous areas of northern Taiwan. Meteorologist Wu Te-jung estimates that the island will experience sharp temperature drops due to the arrival of its first wave of continental air mass starting next Monday, with the country’s plain areas forecasted to drop below 15 degrees Celsius at their lowest. In the morning hours of Wednesday and Thursday, as northeast winds weaken, there will be a slight improvement in weather and a brief rise in temperature. However, the east of Taiwan can expect brief showers during this time. With continental highs hanging over the island, most regions across Taiwan are forecasted to remain relatively stable next Friday. Wu also foresees slight chills brought on by the effects of Taiwan’s first projected wave of cold air mass, offsetting daytime warmth, as "radiative cooling" (RC) causes bodies to lose heat at night.
