As of June 7, 2024, Taiwan remains under the influence of a low-pressure system, bringing a shift in wind direction to southwest. Southern Taiwan can expect sporadic short-term showers or thunderstorms, while other regions will experience mainly afternoon thunderstorms, with a warning for potential heavy rain in mountainous areas due to heat. Temperatures may reach 29-32 degrees with a muggy feel when not raining, dropping to 23-26 degrees at night. In the coming days, the moisture-rich atmosphere combined with the proximity of a front will lead to increased rainfall, emphasizing the risk of landslides and flash floods in hilly regions. Vigilance is advised for activities in mountainous areas, as sudden thunderstorms can cause quick rises in water levels. North and northeast Taiwan will see scattered showers, while central and southern areas and mountainous regions are at risk of heavy rain. Offshore islands like Kinmen and Matsu may experience low clouds or fog, affecting visibility. The subsequent days will see the front shifting slightly northward, with strengthened southwest winds bringing widespread rainfall to central and southern regions and the chance of intense rain, lightning, and gusty winds with convective cloud bands. Other areas will remain cloudy with a possibility of afternoon thunderstorms and local heavy rain. Travelers are urged to check flight information when traveling to and from the outlying islands.
