New Day in Taipei, New Weather Challenge Ahead
The sunny vibe in Taipei took a turn yesterday as a furry friend hitched a ride on a human back, enjoying the weather in a local park. But, prepare for a change, folks! The Central Weather Bureau's forecasting a week filled with a mix of sunshine and showers, thanks to two approaching weather fronts.
First off, let's talk about the plum rain season kicking off from May 5. This week's frontal system is expected to bring scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly to central and southern mountainous areas. Although the Central Weather Administration predicts slight below-average precipitation for the season, don't be surprised by some heavy downpours during the front's initial passage.
Now, keep an eye on a potential tropical system developing east of the Philippines. This could lead to southwesterly wind patterns and increased moisture transport mid-to-late week. Temperatures are expected to range between 22-30°C in the north and 23-33°C in central/southern regions, with higher humidity adding to the warmth.
The weather forecast isn't all doom and gloom, though. The CWA also warns of hailstorms, tornadoes, and lightning accompanying stronger convective activity during these weather fronts. But, mountainous areas face elevated risks of flash floods and landslides.
So, buckle up, Taipei! It's going to be a weather ride! Don't forget to stay updated and stay safe!
