Lin Deen pointed out that in comparison, the cooling in the central and southern regions is less obvious, and sporadic rainfall is still mainly in the afternoon.

In addition, due to the increase in air pressure gradient, Lin Deen said that there is a chance of average winds above level 5 to 6, or gusts above level 7 to 8 in the central and northern regions, Penghu, Matsu and other areas.

In terms of walrus, the wave height in the sea in northern Taiwan and the northern part of the Taiwan Strait increased to about 1.5 to 2.5 meters today. Lin Deen reminded people to pay more attention when engaging in beach activities or working at sea.

Lin De'en pointed out that the northeast monsoon will weaken slightly tomorrow and next two days (3rd to 4th), and the wave heights near Taiwan will drop to 1 to 1.5 meters or less.

As for the next wave of northeast monsoon, Lin Deen said that it is expected to strengthen again next Monday (5th) and affect Taiwan, and "this wave will be stronger."
