— Tseng Chao-chengCentral Weather Administration forecaster describing the upcoming pleasant weather conditions.

Central Weather Administration forecaster Tseng Chao-cheng indicated that most regions will enjoy clear to partly cloudy skies, with only isolated showers possible in the eastern parts of the island and mountainous areas in the south during the afternoon. Temperatures are expected to climb, with daytime highs nearing 30 degrees Celsius, and reaching as high as 33 degrees in some inland areas of central and southern Taiwan. This will make for a warm, even hot, feel during the day, though mornings and evenings will remain cool.

However, the favorable weather is not set to last indefinitely. A cold front is anticipated to approach and cross Taiwan on Wednesday and Thursday. This shift will bring a higher probability of rain across the island, particularly in the northern and central regions, and a noticeable drop in temperatures. The wind direction will also change, with a northeasterly wind expected to bring cooler air.

Starting Wednesday, a cold front will approach and pass through Taiwan, with a higher chance of rain across the island, especially in the central and northern regions.

Fortunately for those planning activities for the upcoming long weekend, the weather is projected to stabilize again by Friday and Saturday. The cold front will move away, and sunny, stable conditions are expected to return, with temperatures gradually climbing once more. Residents are advised to stay updated on forecasts, especially regarding potential fog affecting visibility in Matsu and the possibility of Föhn winds in southeastern Taiwan.

By Friday and Saturday, the cold front will move away, and the weather will return to being clear and stable across the island, with temperatures gradually rising again.
