Parts of the nation, including in the south, could experience temperatures as low as 7°C early tomorrow morning, the Central Weather Administration （CWA） said yesterday.
A strong continental cold air mass coupled with the effect of radiative cooling would bring cold weather to several northern cities and counties, and could even affect areas as far south as Tainan early tomorrow, the CWA said.
Keelung, Taipei, New Taipei City and Taoyuan, and Hsinchu, Miaoli and Yilan counties would experience temperatures below 10°C until this evening, according to cold surge advisories issued by the weather agency.
The weather across the nation is forecast to remain chilly and dry today, with lows of 11°C to 13°C forecast for the north, 15°C for the southeast, and 11°C to 14°C for the outlying islands of Kinmen, Matsu and Penghu.
The cold air mass is expected to weaken later tomorrow, although the cool weather would likely persist through Monday, the CWA said.
Due to the strengthening of northeasterly winds, temperatures would drop again on New Year’s Eve, with lows of 13°C to 14°C in the north and northeast, and 15°C to 17°C elsewhere, it said.
Despite the cold weather, sunshine is forecast for the western half of the nation on the first day of the new year, although there could be brief showers in mountainous areas of Taipei and New Taipei City, and in Keelung and the northeast, the CWA said.
The weather would remain cool until Friday, it added.
