Strengthening northeasterly winds are to bring cooler weather to northern Taiwan this week, including low temperatures at or below 20°C, forecasters said yesterday.
The seasonal wind system would pick up today and remain strong through Thursday, the Central Weather Administration （CWA） said.
During that period, isolated rain showers are forecast for the east and areas north of Taoyuan in northern Taiwan, with partly cloudy to sunny weather expected in the central and southern regions of the country, it said.
Daytime high temperatures from today to Thursday would remain about 23°C to 25°C in the north and northeast, while highs in other regions would rise to the upper 20s or 30 degrees, it said.
The CWA forecast overnight lows of about 20°C in the north on Wednesday and Thursday.
Independent meteorologist Daniel Wu （吳德榮） said temperatures in some areas could fall to as low as 16°C.
As the wind system dissipates on Friday, temperatures would gradually rebound in the north, with a chance of isolated or sporadic rain showers in the north and east, with mostly cloudy to sunny weather forecast for other regions, the CWA said.
Meanwhile, the agency said that it was monitoring a tropical depression in waters east of the Philippines.
It said the depression could potentially strengthen into a tropical storm, bringing rain to northern and eastern Taiwan on Friday and Saturday.
