TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Weather experts predicted mixed weather across Taiwan on Friday (July 5), with clear skies in the morning and potential thunderstorms in the afternoon for central and southern regions. WeatherRisk (天氣風險), a popular weather forecast Website, has advised residents and visitors to prepare for sudden rain showers, especially in mountainous areas.
WeatherRisk also noted that temperatures in the northern region could reach 33 to 37 degrees Celsius during the day and drop to around 26 to 27 degrees Celsius at night and early morning. The agency recommended wearing breathable clothing to cope with the high outdoor temperatures.
WeatherRisk highlighted the likelihood of afternoon thunderstorms and localized heavy rain in central and southern mountainous regions. Those planning outdoor activities in these areas should stay vigilant and ready for abrupt weather changes.
Temperatures in central, southern, and southeastern regions, including the Hengchun Peninsula (恆春半島), are expected to range from 34 to 36 degrees Celsius. Given the unpredictable weather in the Hengchun Peninsula, tourists should monitor weather updates to avoid disruptions in their travel plans.
WeatherRisk forecasts a similar weather pattern for Saturday (July 6). However, by Sunday (July 7) and Monday (July 8), a weakening high-pressure system will increase moisture around Taiwan, expanding the rain coverage. Afternoon thunderstorms and localized heavy rain are likely in the island's western regions and mountainous areas.
