An approaching weather system would push temperatures in northern Taiwan down to about 12°C between tomorrow and Saturday, forecasters said.
The week got off to a warm start yesterday, with temperatures rising to the mid to upper-20s and sunny to partly cloudy weather across most of Taiwan, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said.
However, as the cold front arrives today, there would be slightly cooler temperatures and scattered rain showers in the north and east, while cloudy weather or isolated showers are forecast for other regions, it said.
From tomorrow, the mercury would drop nationwide, with highs of 14°C to 15°C forecast for the north, 18°C to 22°C in the east, 16°C to 22°C in central Taiwan and 18°C to 24°C in the south, the CWA said.
As for precipitation, isolated rain showers are expected to continue into tomorrow morning in the north, east and the Central Mountain Range, before giving way to drier weather in the afternoon, independent meteorologist Daniel Wu (吳德榮) said.
From Thursday through Saturday, crisp sunny weather is forecast for most of the country, with comfortable temperatures during the day, but lows in the north could drop to 12°C or even 10°C in mountainous areas overnight, Wu said.
