Intensifying cold weather sweeps Taiwan
Cold weather is intensifying across Taiwan, with increased rainfall in the northern and eastern regions. Temperatures are dropping below 10 degrees Celsius in areas north of Chiayi, with the lowest temperature recorded at 6.7 degrees Celsius in the Yangmei District of Taoyuan City. The Central Weather Administration (CWA) has issued a cold weather warning, predicting temperatures below 6 degrees in New Taipei City, Taoyuan, and Hsinchu. The warning also covers Keelung, Taipei, Yilan County, and Kinmen County for sustained temperatures around 10 degrees or lower, and Lienchiang County for temperatures around 6 degrees or lower. High-altitude areas above 3,000 meters, such as Mount Hehuan, Xueshan, and Mount Nanhu, are experiencing freezing temperatures and a high chance of snowfall. The cold air is expected to slightly weaken from Saturday afternoon until Sunday, with brief local showers expected in the northern and eastern regions and brief rainfalls in mountainous areas of central and southern Taiwan. No severe cold fronts are expected to affect New Year’s Eve.

Taiwan to see sun, approaching rain as cold front nears
The Central Weather Administration (CWA) has forecasted sunny to partly cloudy skies across Taiwan and its outlying islands on Friday (Dec. 15), with a front bringing brief rain showers to the north, northeast, and Matsu in the evening. A continental polar air mass will move in the next day, resulting in a drop in temperatures and damp, cold weather that will persist through Monday. Independent meteorologist Daniel Wu predicts that a stronger wave of cold air will arrive on Tuesday (Dec. 19), potentially marking the season’s first cold wave. Brief showers are expected in the northern and eastern parts of Taiwan from Saturday, with lows around 12 degrees Celsius in some metropolitan areas. Rain will pause on Monday until Tuesday afternoon, followed by another wave of cold air from Tuesday evening to Friday (Dec. 22). Weather models suggest that this wave might reach the strength of a strong continental cold air mass, with the potential for it to be upgraded to a cold wave. The cold is expected to gradually weaken by Saturday, Dec. 23.

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.

Taiwan records lowest temperature after Lidong at 18.3°C
Taiwan experienced its lowest temperature of the winter season with a high of 18.3 degrees Celsius reported at Hualien Liyu Lake, according to the Central Weather Administration (CWA).

Afternoon temperatures were predicted to warm up to 30 degrees Celsius nationwide. A stalled front from Zhejiang, China, and extending west to Sichuan, China, is approaching Taiwan, potentially bringing cooler weather to the northern and northeastern regions. Local sporadic showers are expected in Kinmen Matsu regions, with the possibility of local heavy rain estimated for the Keelung North Coast and northeastern mountain regions. Along with Penghu, central and southern regions of Taiwan are expected to continue to experience mostly cloudy to clear weather, with the possibility of afternoon showers in the mountains.
