Taiwan will face hot temperatures up to 37°C starting Tuesday, the Central Weather Administration said. The heat will mainly affect northern Taiwan, where daily highs will reach between 33°C and 37°C through Friday. At the same time, central and southern parts of the island will see highs between 33°C and 35°C. Most regions will enjoy mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies during this period.
Along with the heat, scattered afternoon showers will hit central and southern Taiwan. Mountainous areas will also receive occasional rain, particularly in the afternoons. These showers may bring brief relief from the heat but will likely remain localized. As the week moves toward the weekend, northern Taiwan will experience a slight drop in temperatures. Daytime highs will range from 32°C to 36°C from Friday through Sunday.
Central and southern Taiwan will keep their warm temperatures, with highs steady between 33°C and 35°C over the weekend. Localized showers will continue in southern regions. Central Taiwan and the mountainous areas can expect brief afternoon thunderstorms, which may cause short bursts of heavy rain and gusty winds. Despite this, much of the island will still see sunny or partly cloudy conditions.
On Tuesday, UV radiation levels will rise, especially in northern Taiwan and Taitung. Other parts of the island will experience moderate UV levels, so people should take precautions when spending time outdoors. Meanwhile, central and southern regions will face moderate air quality, while northern and other areas will enjoy good air quality throughout the week.
Meteorologists are watching tropical disturbances forming near the Philippines and Guam. These systems might develop into typhoons in the coming days. However, the Central Weather Administration says their intensity and paths remain uncertain. Officials will keep monitoring these developments closely and issue warnings if needed.
In summary, Taiwan will see hot temperatures up to 37°C through much of the week. The heat will come with scattered showers in some areas and the chance of tropical storms nearby. Residents should stay hydrated, use sun protection, and keep updated on weather forecasts. They should also prepare for sudden rain and thunderstorms, especially in central, southern, and mountainous regions.
