Meteorological experts pointed out that today and tomorrow (Saturday and Sunday), the moisture will increase, and there will be heavy rainfall in places in the north and east. The northeast monsoon will strengthen again next Monday and Tuesday, and the North Taiwan will turn "cool", with heavy rain on the windward side. Affected by radiation cooling from next Wednesday to Friday, the low temperature in the morning may drop to around 16 degrees. There may also be local short-term rain in the afternoon in the central and southern mountainous areas.

Wu Derong, an adjunct associate professor of the Department of Atmosphere at National Central University, wrote a column in the "Meteorological Application Promotion Foundation" today and pointed out that the moisture will increase today and tomorrow, and there will be occasional localized short-lived rains in the northern and eastern half of the country. The temperature dropped slightly in the north and east, while the central and southern parts were still hot during the day and slightly cooler in the morning and evening. Today's temperatures in various regions are as follows: 23 to 30 degrees in the north, 23 to 35 degrees in the center, 22 to 35 degrees in the south, and 22 to 33 degrees in the east.

Wu Derong said that the northeast monsoon will strengthen next Monday and Tuesday, the temperature will drop significantly (it is far from the intensity of the "continental cold air mass"), and Beitai will turn "cool"; next Monday there will be rain with heavy rain on the windward side, and next Tuesday the moisture will gradually decrease, and the rainfall on the windward side will gradually decrease. From next Wednesday to Friday, the leeward side will be sunny and stable, and the windward side will be cloudy and sunny with occasional sporadic rainfall; the north will be comfortable and the south will be slightly hot. Due to radiation cooling, the temperature will be low in the early morning (the Taipei measuring station is about 20 degrees, and the lowest temperature on Taiwan's flat ground can drop to about 16 degrees). The temperature difference between day and night is large; there is also the chance of local short-term rainfall in the afternoon in the central and southern mountainous areas.

Wu Derong explained that according to the latest forecast from the Meteorological Administration, the No. 26 Central Station "Caiyun" is located in the northern sea of ​​Guam, and will generally travel northward toward the eastern sea of ​​Japan. Its intensity will continue to increase and its scope will continue to expand into a "large typhoon" with a radius of 280 kilometers. The latest European simulations show that the probability is highest in the north, with no possibility of invading Taiwan. As for Hurricane NOLO, which developed in the eastern Pacific, it will cross the date line next Monday and enter the western Pacific, posing no threat to Taiwan.
