Lin Dingyi pointed out that the northeast monsoon will just intensify next Wednesday, and there will be more water vapor, and there is a chance of local heavy rain in the northeast.

From next Thursday to next Saturday, the water vapor will decrease slightly, but it is still affected by the northeast monsoon. There will be some short-lived rains in the north and eastern half of Taoyuan.

In terms of temperature, Lin Dingyi said that the day with a big change will be next Wednesday, and the high temperature in the north will drop very significantly. The Greater Taipei area will drop from the current 34 degrees and 35 degrees to 26 degrees, a drop of as much as 9 degrees; the low temperature will not drop very much. Obviously, it is about 2 degrees, 3 degrees, and about 26 degrees to 24 degrees.

The central and southern areas have little impact. The high temperature drops by about 2 degrees or 3 degrees, and it is still above 30 degrees.

Lin Dingyi said that this wave of northeast monsoon will affect Taiwan from next Wednesday. Although it will weaken slightly next Friday, a new wave of northeast monsoon will be reported soon. Therefore, all the way to National Day, Taiwan's weather is affected by the northeast monsoon. During the National Day holiday, there will be some short-lived rains in the northern and eastern half of the country.

In addition, the Bureau of Meteorology revised the definition of northeast monsoon this year. In the past, whether the low temperature in Taipei was below 20 degrees was used to separate the northeast wind from the northeast monsoon, resulting in too many definitions of cold air terms. , the cold air blowing clockwise to the vicinity of Taiwan via Central China or the East China Sea, making the weather cooler, is called the northeast monsoon, and no longer uses 20 degrees as the benchmark.
