Cooler Weather, Rain Forecast for 228 Holiday Weekend in Taiwan

Taipei: Cooler temperatures and scattered rain showers are forecast for northern and central Taiwan over the 228 Peace Memorial Day weekend, starting on Friday. This prediction comes from independent meteorologist Wu Der-rong. According to Focus Taiwan, on Thursday, most of Taiwan will experience partly cloudy weather with occasional clear skies. The north will have comfortable temperatures, while the central and southern regions will see slightly warmer weather. However, a weather front arriving on Thursday night is expected to bring occasional rain showers and cooler temperatures to northern and central Taiwan on Friday. Similar weather patterns are anticipated on Saturday, with parts of the south also receiving rain. The first half of Sunday will continue to see these conditions. From Sunday afternoon through Monday, there will be a brief period of drier and warmer weather across Taiwan. According to the Central Weather Administration (CWA), temperatures in northern and central Taiwan will stay in the l ow- to mid-20s on Friday and Saturday, before increasing to the upper-20s on Sunday. In contrast, southern Taiwan will experience temperatures in the upper-20s throughout the three-day holiday weekend. Wu indicates that next week will see the arrival of two weather systems in Taiwan, on Monday and Friday, which will bring cooler temperatures to the north and scattered rain showers to most of the country.
