Weather patterns across Taiwan are set to change significantly beginning Tuesday, September 7. Northeast winds will strengthen, bringing rain to various regions.
Northeast Winds Bring Rain to Three Regions Starting Tuesday
This shift in weather follows a period of stability where most areas experienced mostly cloudy to sunny skies. However, some regions, particularly the mountainous areas in the north and parts of central and southern Taiwan, might see brief thunderstorms. The central weather bureau reports these changes due to increasing northeastern winds.
Weather Forecast Overview
From September 5 to 6, Taiwan will enjoy mostly stable weather conditions. High temperatures during this period may reach between 31 and 35 degrees Celsius in various areas. Only the Hengchun Peninsula is expected to encounter sporadic brief rain.
Expected Rainfall and Temperature Changes
- September 7: Introduction of strong northeast winds will cause local rain in Keelung, the northern coast, and Yilan.
- September 8-9: Increased moisture will lead to occasional rain in the north, eastern regions, and Hengchun Peninsula, while central and southern areas will remain mostly clear.
- September 10-11: The southeastern region and Hengchun Peninsula will continue to experience sporadic rain.
Temperature lows across Taiwan are projected to be between 24 and 28 degrees Celsius during this period. In contrast, daytime highs may peak at 33 to 35 degrees in the western regions and around 31 to 33 degrees in the east and offshore islands.
Warnings and Advice
With the new weather patterns, the public is encouraged to stay alert. The Central Weather Bureau advises caution, especially along the coasts from New Taipei to Taichung, including Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu, due to the possibility of seawater flooding and localized water accumulation during the annual high tidal phase.
In summary, residents in Taiwan should prepare for changing weather conditions, especially in the north and eastern parts, starting September 7. Maintaining vigilance during this period is crucial for safely navigating the upcoming rainy days.
