On Monday, March 25, there will be brief showers in central and northern areas as well as northeastern regions, with temperatures between 17–20°C. Eastern, southeastern, and southern mountainous areas will have localized brief showers, with temperatures around 20°C; rainfall will be more noticeable when the frontal system passes. Other areas will be mostly cloudy, with temperatures in the range of 22–25°C.
On Tuesday, March 26, with reduced moisture, most areas will see a shift to mostly cloudy to sunny weather, and temperatures will begin to rise by 2–3°C. Only the eastern half and mountainous areas in the western half may experience localized brief showers, with the latter mainly seeing short afternoon showers.
From Wednesday to Thursday, March 27–28, as southerly winds return near Taiwan, temperatures will rise significantly, with highs in the north reaching 27–28°C and in the south up to 30°C—feeling somewhat like summer. Be mindful of temperature differences. Moisture will also be relatively low, with most areas enjoying mostly cloudy to sunny conditions, except for scattered brief showers in the eastern half and northern mountainous areas.
From March 31 to April 2, the northeast monsoon will weaken slightly, with temperatures rising a little and rainfall decreasing on windward sides. This period also welcomes the Spring Break and Qingming holiday. Many people will enter vacation mode or return home for tomb-sweeping and other activities. Stay alert to weather and traffic conditions.
On Sunday, March 24, the northeast monsoon carried trace amounts of overseas pollutants southward, impacting Taiwan’s air quality. The extent of the impact varies with rainfall intensity. Over the coming week, Yilan and Hualien-Taitung air quality zones are forecasted to be “Good.” The northern, Zhubei-Miaoli, and central zones will be “Moderate,” with some inland mountainous areas in central Taiwan experiencing weak winds where local levels may reach the orange caution level. Yunlin-Kaohsiung-Pingtung and Kaohsiung-Penghu zones, with weak winds, are prone to pollutant accumulation, reaching the “orange caution” level.
