Temperatures last night fell to 12°C to 15°C in northern, central and northeastern Taiwan, and 15°C to 17°C in eastern Taiwan, the bureau said.

The cold air mass would affect all parts of the country today, and bring brief showers to northern and eastern Taiwan, as well as the Matsu and Kinmen islands, the bureau said.

It should weaken tomorrow and Wednesday, with temperatures rising slightly as Taiwanese celebrate the first two days of the Year of the Tiger, the bureau said.

A passing cold front would cause temperatures to plunge again until Saturday or Sunday, it said.

Atmospheric moisture is forecast to drop over the weekend, reducing the chance of rain, with only windward locations in the north and eastern parts of the country experiencing sporadic rain, the bureau said.

Mist could affect visibility in western Taiwan, and on the Kinmen and Matsu islands on Wednesday and Thursday, it added, urging motorists to drive carefully.
