The Central Weather Bureau stated that there is a development trend of the anti-El Niño phenomenon as sea surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean continue to drop. Historical data suggests that in anti-El Niño years, Taiwan's summer may be hotter with typhoons forming closer to Taiwan. The Bureau predicts a range of two to four typhoons near Taiwan from June to November, which is considered below to normal levels and could lead to limited intensification if they form close to the island. The upcoming season outlook indicates higher probabilities of above-normal to normal temperatures and normal to below-normal rainfall from July to September in Taiwan. Chief of Meteorological Center Chen Yiliang mentioned the return to normal El Niño conditions this year but highlighted the potential gradual development of anti-El Niño in the latter part of the year, bringing higher chances of tropical cyclone formation near Taiwan with fewer occurrences than in normal years.
