Monday (April 28): Front Passage, Cooler and Rainy Weather

On April 28 (Monday), due to the passage of a front and the strengthening of the northeast monsoon, there will be scattered heavy rain in the central and northern regions, Yilan, and Hualien. There will be more clouds across all areas and outlying islands, leading to unstable weather and a likelihood of rain. Highs in the northern and Yilan regions will be around 25 to 27 degrees Celsius, feeling noticeably cooler; in the central, southern, and eastern regions, high temperatures will range from 27 to 30 degrees Celsius, with Pingtung reaching up to 33 degrees Celsius. Coastal areas will experience gradually strengthening winds, with strong gusts expected. In the early morning, localized fog or low clouds may appear in the central and northern regions, affecting visibility, so drivers should be particularly cautious.

Tuesday to Wednesday (April 29 to 30): Decreased Moisture, Warmer and Mostly Sunny

Entering Tuesday (April 29) and Wednesday (April 30), as moisture decreases, the weather will gradually stabilize. On Tuesday, the northeast monsoon will still have an influence, but most areas will be mostly cloudy to sunny, with only isolated showers in the eastern half and Hengchun Peninsula, and brief afternoon showers in mountainous areas. Daytime high temperatures in northern Taiwan will rise to around 28 degrees Celsius, feeling comfortably warm; in the central and southern regions, highs will reach 30 to 31 degrees Celsius, ranging from warm to slightly hot; the eastern half will remain between 25 to 28 degrees Celsius, feeling pleasantly cool. Nighttime and early morning temperatures will be slightly cooler, with a noticeable day-night temperature difference, so it's recommended to adjust clothing accordingly.

On Wednesday, the northeast monsoon will further weaken, and the weather will remain stable, warm, and slightly hot during the day. High temperatures in the northern region will rise by another 2 to 3 degrees Celsius, with highs in the western half generally exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, and the eastern half between 27 to 28 degrees Celsius. Highs in Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu will range from 24 to 28 degrees Celsius.

Thursday to Saturday (May 1 to 3): Increased Afternoon Thunderstorms, Higher Temperatures

Starting May 1 (Thursday), due to rising temperatures, the range of afternoon thunderstorms in Taiwan will gradually expand. On Thursday morning, most areas will be mostly cloudy to sunny, but starting in the afternoon, thunderstorms are likely in the western half and mountainous areas, and rainfall in Matsu and northern regions may not be limited to the afternoon. High temperatures in the western half can reach 32 to 33 degrees Celsius, while the eastern half will be between 28 to 30 degrees Celsius, and Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu will have highs around 25 to 29 degrees Celsius, overall feeling hot.

The weather pattern on Friday (May 2) and Saturday (May 3) will be similar to Thursday, with mostly cloudy to sunny mornings and a high chance of afternoon thunderstorms, especially in the western half and mountainous areas. It's recommended to carry rain gear for outdoor activities and be mindful of brief heavy rain and lightning in the afternoon.

Sunday (May 4): Approaching Front, Weather Becomes Unstable Again

Scattered thunderstorms are expected in the northern, Yilan, and Kinmen regions, with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms in other areas as well. During this period, special attention should be paid to sudden heavy rain, lightning, and strong gusts. As the position and impact of the front remain uncertain, it's advised to stay updated with the latest weather information and take precautionary measures.
