TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwan's weather will shift on Sunday (April 26) as the cold front moves away, bringing warmer temperatures and clearer skies, meteorologists said. The Central Weather Administration (CWA, 中央氣象署) forecast that the change will also bring isolated showers to some areas, while temperatures are expected to rise across the island through midweek.
The CWA predicted that the weakening northeast monsoon will give way to easterly winds on Sunday, followed by southeasterly winds on Monday. This shift will result in rising temperatures until a new front approaches Wednesday and Thursday. WeatherRisk (天氣風險), a weather forecasting company, anticipated temperatures ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F), with lows between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F).
Weather expert Wu Der-rong (吳德榮) noted that Sunday and Monday will experience clear and warm weather, although eastern regions might see occasional brief showers. Wu said the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts models support this outlook, predicting similar conditions for those dates. The models are widely used by meteorologists for medium-term forecasting.
Wu expected partly cloudy and warm conditions across Taiwan as moisture from the south increases on Tuesday. He predicted afternoon showers in mountainous and eastern areas and cautioned that the new front will pass quickly from Wednesday to Thursday. Residents should prepare for potentially sudden weather changes during that period.
