The 2017 Season’s Second Tropical Storm, Minor Typhoon Merbok (International Name: MERBOK), is centered at 20.1°N, 115.0°E, moving north-northwest to north at a speed of 18 km/h. Currently, the probability of it affecting Taiwan is low, but it may impact Hong Kong and Macau. Those traveling to Hong Kong, Macau, or Guangdong in mainland China soon should pay attention to the typhoon’s movements.

Due to the influence of the typhoon’s peripheral cloud system, on the 12th, most areas will be mostly cloudy to sunny, with scattered brief showers in central and southern regions, and scattered brief thunderstorms in other areas in the afternoon. On the 13th, as a frontal system approaches and under the influence of southwest winds, there is a chance of localized heavy rain or torrential rain; scattered brief showers or thunderstorms are expected in western and northeastern regions, with scattered brief thunderstorms in other areas in the afternoon.

Starting from Wednesday the 14th, under the influence of a stationary front (originating from the southern sea area near Japan and extending westward to Yunnan) and southwest airflow, scattered showers or thunderstorms are expected across the country, with a chance of heavy rain or torrential rain—especially in western regions where torrential rain or higher levels of rainfall are more likely. On the 12th, Kinmen and Matsu may experience reduced visibility due to low clouds; on the 12th and 13th, there is a chance of foehn winds in southeastern regions; coastal areas in southwestern, southeastern, Hengchun Peninsula, Green Island, Orchid Island, Penghu, and Kinmen are prone to swells, which require special attention.

 
Regarding temperatures, Monday and Tuesday will be relatively hot, with highs reaching 33–34°C. Temperatures will slightly drop afterward, staying around 25–29°C island-wide, with slightly cooler conditions in northeastern and Yilan regions, where lows may drop to 23°C. Be sure to carry rain gear when going out this week, and be especially cautious of torrential rain or higher levels of rainfall starting Wednesday. Mountainous and riverine areas require extra vigilance.
