As we approach the tail-end of February, the first signs of spring are manifesting once again. The current wave of pleasant weather is set to come to an end on Wednesday. The arrival of northeasterly winds and a front will bring temperatures down in the north and east of the island. And unfortunately, this Peace Memorial Day long weekend is set to be a rainy one, due to the influence from the northeasterly winds and a cloud system from Southern China. So if you’re heading out, make sure to bring an umbrella with you. Let’s hear from the Central Weather Administration.

Yeh Chih-chun
Weather forecaster
Starting from tomorrow during the daytime, northeasterly winds will gain strength, so there will be downpours in windward areas in the northern half of the island, the east coast and the Hengchun Peninsula. By Thursday, another front will gradually approach. In the first half of the day, the weather will be quite pleasant, but after midday, the rains will gradually pick up in Taoyuan and areas north of Taoyuan, in the East coast, in the Hengchun Peninsula and even in mountainous areas in Central and Northern Taiwan. That will also be the case for the outlying islands of Kinmen and Matsu. Starting Friday, a second front will sweep over the island and it will bring along sparse showers in Central, Northern and Eastern Taiwan, the outlying islands and even Southern Taiwan.

The rainy weather is set to intensify until the weekend. But despite that, forecasters say it’s unlikely to resolve the low water levels at reservoirs in Central and Southern Taiwan. And that could be because this winter so far is the fifth driest since 1951. Forecasters say that March and April are also expected to be drier than usual. So, remember to save water where possible.
