Strengthening northeasterly trade winds will bring temperatures to areas north of Chiayi County down to around 14°C from tonight through early tomorrow morning, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said yesterday.
CWA forecaster Cheng Chieh-jen (鄭傑仁) said the trade winds will influence Taiwan through Friday, resulting in highs of 20 °C to 22°C in northern Taiwan and 26°C to 28°C in central and southern Taiwan during the coolest period from tonight through early tomorrow.
Cheng said the weather system will weaken on Friday, allowing daytime temperatures in northern Taiwan to rise slightly, but new northeasterly winds will move south on Saturday, bringing low temperatures of about 14°C to 16°C across Taiwan.
