TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The Central Weather Administration (CWA) announced Tuesday (Dec. 26) that temperatures are expected to rise today due to the weakening of a cold air mass.
The daytime highs are estimated to reach 22 to 25 degrees Celsius in the western part of the country and 21 to 23 degrees in the eastern regions. Rainfall will be limited, and skies will largely remain clear, with only slight scattered showers in the east.
Despite the rising temperatures, morning lows in the western regions, and Yilan will be around 10 to 13 degrees, dropping to below 10 degrees in parts of northern Tainan and Yilan due to the influence of the continental cold air mass and radiative cooling effect. The Hualien-Taitung area should expect lows between 15 and 16 degrees, and individuals are advised to take measures to stay warm.
Wind speeds may rise between 8 to 9 levels in parts of Taoyuan to Yunlin, Hengchun Peninsula, Penghu, Lanyu, and Green Island. There could be a risk of high waves along the coast of the eastern regions, Lanyu, Green Island, and Hengchun Peninsula. Residents and visitors are urged to stay vigilant if engaging in seaside activities.
