Former Central Weather Bureau Director-General Cheng Ming-dean warns of a stronger blast of cold air hitting Taiwan, urging residents to brace for chillier weather. The upcoming cold front is expected to be more potent and longer-lasting than the current one, with temperatures remaining low due to a surge of mainland cold air. The Central Weather Administration forecasts a temperature drop as the mainland air mass moves southward, bringing rain to certain regions. Residents are advised to stay vigilant and keep warm as the weather changes.

During a cold snap in Taiwan, 18 cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests (OHCA) were reported, resulting in 13 deaths before reaching the hospital. The fire departments in Taipei and New Taipei responded to these incidents, with some individuals pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of these deaths is currently under investigation. The cold front has caused temperatures to drop to as low as 10-12 degrees Celsius in certain areas, leading to a warning from the fire bureau about the potential cardiovascular risks associated with colder weather. Individuals with chronic diseases are advised to take precautions and seek regular health check-ups.

Frost observed on Mount Jade North Peak in Nantou County’s Xinyi Township, with temperatures dropping to -4.2 degrees Celsius. The Central Weather Administration explains that the freezing temperatures caused moisture near the ground to freeze, resulting in the formation of frost. In other parts of Taiwan, temperatures hovered around 11.5 to 11.7 degrees Celsius in Sanwan Township, Miaoli County, and Guanxi Township, Hsinchu County, respectively. However, other regions experienced a slight increase in temperature, with lows rising above 13 degrees Celsius.

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.
