TVBS News June 9, 2024, 7:54 AM As Dragon Boat Festival approaches, unstable weather conditions are anticipated with potential severe thunderstorms. On the evening of the 9th, heavy rain unexpectedly hit central Taiwan, leading to multiple heavy rain alerts being issued by the Central Weather Bureau, with Nantou experiencing particularly intense rainfall conditions. The approaching Dragon Boat Festival is met with a new wave of precipitation, with two regions expected to face rainfall threats for the entire week, advising the public to be cautious of the weather before heading out. The weather forecast indicates that on Monday (10th), the Dragon Boat Festival day, temperatures could surpass 30 degrees Celsius, creating a muggy atmosphere, influenced by southwest winds, resulting in increased humidity conducive to rainfall. Especially, the southern regions should be wary of brief thunderstorms, and the central and offshore islands may encounter scattered short-lived showers or thunderstorms, with the northern and eastern regions generally experiencing cloudy to clear skies while needing to be mindful of isolated afternoon thunderstorms. The trend continues from Wednesday to Sunday (12th to 16th), with conditions similar to Tuesday, short-lived showers or thunderstorms in the south and central regions impacting coastal areas from night till morning, gradually progressing towards inland and mountainous areas post daybreak, with other regions experiencing cloudy to clear weather, requiring caution for isolated brief afternoon thunderstorms, while the southeastern regions face the possibility of heatwaves, necessitating precautions against heatstroke. By the following week, from Monday (17th) to Wednesday (19th), as Pacific high pressure strengthens, moisture decreases gradually, leading to sporadic short-lived showers in the eastern and southern areas, with other regions experiencing cloudy to clear skies and isolated brief afternoon thunderstorms. The Central Weather Bureau reminds the public that uncertainties remain due to the strengthening of Pacific high pressure and the moisture brought by southwest winds, necessitating continuous monitoring and readiness for weather changes to ensure personal and family safety.
