Today, UV levels across Taiwan have reached the excessive range. Take sun protection measures when going out.
Today’s wind flow is predominantly from the southwest. The windward areas from central Taiwan to the Hengchun Peninsula have a higher probability of rain washing away pollutants, resulting in generally good air quality. The northern region, being in the lee, is prone to pollutant accumulation. The coastal areas from central to Yunlin, Chiayi, and Tainan may experience dust disturbance affecting air quality due to strong winds. The extent of dust disturbance and pollutant accumulation varies depending on rainfall duration and intensity.
