Meteorological expert Wu Derong stated that today (17th), the stationary front will weaken, and tomorrow the southwest monsoon will weaken. From the 19th to the 24th, it will be sunny and hot like midsummer, and hotter each day. It is predicted that the last cold front of the plum rain season will approach on the 25th and 26th, requiring continuous observation.
The Central Weather Administration issued a high-temperature advisory, stating that due to the influence of descending southwest winds, Taitung County is prone to foehn winds. During the day today, Taitung County is under a yellow alert, with temperatures expected to exceed 36 degrees Celsius.
Wu Derong, an adjunct professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at National Central University, stated in the "Heavenly Secrets Revealed Classroom" column of the Foundation for Promotion of Meteorological Applications that the latest European model simulation shows that the stationary front will weaken today, and Taiwan will remain within the range of the southwest monsoon. The atmosphere will be unstable, with convective development in the afternoon. During the day, it will be rather hot when it does not rain.
The Dragon Boat Festival holiday will begin from the 19th to the 21st. Wu Derong pointed out that tomorrow the southwest monsoon will weaken, with localized thunderstorms still possible in the afternoon. From the 19th to the 24th, the Pacific high pressure will strengthen, making it hotter each day. It will be sunny and hot like midsummer across the island, with occasional localized brief showers in the mountains in the afternoon.
Wu Derong mentioned that the last cold front of the plum rain season is predicted to approach on the 25th and 26th, causing a change in weather. However, the simulations from various countries' models differ significantly, and continuous observation is needed.
Wu Derong stated that around the 20th and 21st, tropical disturbances are expected to develop east of the Philippines. Although the movement simulated by various countries' models is inconsistent, most indicate a large turn to the northeast in the sea south of Japan, with no chance of affecting Taiwan. There is still uncertainty, and continuous observation is required. (Editor: Liu Xianghua)
