The Central Weather Bureau (CWA) said yesterday that most areas in Taiwan are expected to have partly cloudy to sunny skies during this week's holiday, and weather conditions across Taiwan will be favorable for moon viewing tomorrow night during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
However, a tropical depression developed into a tropical storm last night, named Shuliki, and is expected to intensify into a moderate typhoon tomorrow.
The system is expected to continue moving northwestward and then turn northbound on Saturday after reaching the waters south of Taiwan.
It will then move northeast, passing through the waters east of Taiwan and heading to Japan's Ryukyu Islands.
The storm is expected to make its closest approach to Taiwan on Sunday and Monday, where it will maintain moderate intensity before gradually weakening as it moves north.
Forecasts show the system will bring scattered showers on Monday and Tuesday, affecting areas north of Taoyuan and Yilan County.
Until Sunday, most parts of Taiwan are expected to maintain partly cloudy to sunny skies, said Lai Xinguo, a forecaster with the Central Weather Bureau.
Tomorrow, localized short-lived showers may occur in windward areas including the north coast of Keelung, the greater Taipei area, eastern Taiwan and the Hengchun Peninsula.
As of today, the north coast of Keelung, the eastern half of Taiwan's main island, and the mountainous areas around Taipei should experience sporadic showers. Rain is expected throughout the entire island of Taiwan in the afternoon.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is expected to be sunny or cloudy, with the moon visible in the evening, except for the mountainous areas in the northern part of Chiayi County.
Sporadic rainfall is expected in the Hualien and Taitung areas, and there will be showers in the mountainous areas of Taiwan's main island in the afternoon, but the forecast may be adjusted as the typhoon's track changes.
Starting from Saturday, waves may occur on the north coast of Keelung, the eastern part of Taiwan's main island, Green Island and Orchid Island.
At the same time, the highest tide level in Penghu County is expected to occur at the same time as the typhoon's rain and wind, resulting in an increased risk of flooding.
The temperature at noon this week may exceed 30°C, and the temperature in some parts of Taiwan may reach about 33.5°C.
For Hsinchu County and Miaoli County, less cloudy weather may lead to cooler weather, with morning temperatures below 20°C, and a large temperature difference between day and night during the same period.

The forecast for Typhoon Shuliki shows that it will turn northward off the eastern coast of Taiwan, which will have no impact on Taiwan's weather. On the contrary, because the peripheral downdraft makes the weather more stable, there is no need to worry about typhoon interference during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. However, the typhoon will approach Ryukyu next Sunday and may bring wind and rain, with limited impact on Kanto, Japan.

Jia Xingxing, director of Taiwan Integrated Disaster Prevention Engineering Technology Consulting Company, said that during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the weather in Taiwan will be clear and stable due to the influence of the Autumn Tiger, which is suitable for moon viewing. The latest forecast of Typhoon Shuliji shows that there is an increased chance of turning north towards Ryukyu from the 25th to the 26th, and may affect Okinawa from the 27th to the 29th. At the same time, tourists who go to Hokkaido to appreciate the maples are reminded to keep warm.

Typhoon Shuliji is expected to turn north early, arrive in Taiwan's southeastern waters over the weekend, then turn northeast and leave. It will have limited impact on Taiwan's land. However, during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, you need to pay attention to the long waves and astronomical tides outside the typhoon, and you still need to pay special attention to safety during beach activities.

Tropical Depression TD29 is expected to intensify into Typhoon Shuliji today and tomorrow. The current model predictions are divided into two directions: turning north early or continuing westward. If it moves westward and approaches Taiwan, it may have the greatest impact around next Tuesday (29th). Meteorological experts point out that the later development is full of uncertainty.

The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday is approaching. The Meteorological Administration has forecast that the weather will be stable from cloudy to sunny before the weekend, and there is a high chance of enjoying the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival night. Tropical depression TD29 is about 2,000 kilometers away from Taiwan. It is expected to strengthen into a light platform tomorrow and develop into a central Taiwan on Saturday. It may affect the sea surface in eastern Taiwan next Monday and Tuesday, bringing local showers to the north of Taoyuan and Yilan. Pay attention to the accumulation of water during long waves and spring tides.
According to information from the Central Meteorological Observatory, heavy or heavy rains occurred in southern Sichuan, Chongqing and other places yesterday, with local heavy rains. The scope of autumn rain will expand from tomorrow. In the next three days, there will be moderate to heavy rain, local heavy rain or heavy rain in some areas of Shaanxi, Sichuan and other places. We need to be alert to secondary disasters such as landslides and mudslides.
