Since the beginning of winter, Yushan has not seen the first snow for a long time due to the incompatibility of low temperature and water vapor, which has broken the record of the latest first snow in history.

[Reporter Liu Binquan/Report from Nantou] The cold current of the Spring Festival is reported, and the temperature in Yushan is quite low. Breakthroughs are still accumulating. The Yushan weather station said that the first wave of moisture in February will usher in the weekend, but the mountains are not cold enough, and the early snow in winter may have to wait.

The Yushan National Park Management Office said that during the cold snap at the end of the Spring Festival this year, the low temperature in Yushan Paiyun Villa was minus 2 degrees, but there was no moisture and no snowfall. It is dry and cold, and there is no fog at all, and there is no rime in the mountains recently.

Moisture is expected this weekend, but the temperature may not be low enough. Whether it snows or not remains to be seen. However, rain will make the trail slippery and the temperature will drop. You still need to pay attention to safety and keep warm when climbing.

The Yushan Meteorological Station said that it is expected that water vapor will move into the central part on the 4th and 5th. At that time, there may be rain and fog in the high mountains, but the mountainous areas are still not cold enough, and the chance of snowfall is expected to be low. It depends on whether the low temperature and water vapor can cooperate to have a chance to welcome the first snow in Yushan.

In the past, Yushan had the last snowfall on January 21, 2019, but this year it has not seen any snow since the beginning of winter, breaking the record for the latest snowfall in history.
